Imagine a photo-negative of a plicata. That's close to what a
luminata is. The styles are light colored (white, yellow, pink...),
as are the hafts. Dark color is present as a sort of "wash" in the
spaces *between* the veins. The petal rims are also often without
dark coloring.
You might want to check out the "Iris Lingo" file for this list.

Happy irising, Tom.
