| From AIS Bulletin #178, July 1965. Introducing DEBBY RAIRDON (Kuntz) 34" E-L. The closed wavy standards are subdued
yellow with white on the reverse side. The round, wavy, horizontal falls are pearly white with yellow on the reverse side. Very heavy substance. (Parentage unknown. The pod parent was a good pink.) Net 25.00. Noyd's Iris Garden.|
In the Luihn garden we observed an iris numbered 59-2, and "flipped." The standards are white-edged yellow, and the falls are similar, with the substance like wax. We later learned this iris is named DEBBY RAIRDON (Kuntz '65), and has been introduced by Luella Noyd.
