From AIS Bulletin #205 April 1972 Introducing RASPBERRY SUNDAE (Niswonger '72). Raspberry Whirl X Raspberry Ripples. A border iris, clean mulberry rose with red beard. HC '71. $15.00. Cape Iris.
RASPBERRY SUNDAE (Niswonger '72)-Among the new border irises, this one's performance the past two years has been superb. In color, it is a smooth raspberry shade; in form, a lilting and flaring iris. It is well-branched and a good grower. Add to this the proportion of flower to the height of stalk.
