From AIS Bulletin #237 April 1980 Introducing MULBERRY CRUSH (Niswonger '80). Sdlg. 8-76: (Lilac Treat X Raspberry Ripples) ((Sapphire Fuzz x Rippling Waters) x (Sapphire Fuzz x Pink Fluny)) TB, 32" (81 cm), Mid, fertile both ways. From the the hybridizing standpoint, there are two reasons for introducing this one. It has pink with blue beard breeding potential and has produced some fantastic banded seedlings with lace and ruffles. From the beauty standpoint, there are all kinds of reasons. The standards are rosy magenta, and the falls are pale magenta with a deeper magenta band on lacy, ruffled edges (RVIPRV6RV-ro). The beard is white tipped with tangerine frosting. It looks almost good enough to eat. I know you will like it. $25.00. Cape Iris. |
