RASPBERRY FROST

Copper red slightly clearer towards the copper bronze beards. Flowers of good size and gracefully ruffled. Good red effect.

White standards discreetly infused with amethyst along the edges and lemon yellow toward the heart. White falls with a purplish amethyst brim (1cm wide). Amply waved flowers with discreet pale yellow beards (average of 8 buds). The last one to flower in this year's collection.

"Memphis Blues" and "Sapphire Hills" gave us this superbly shaped, medium-blue violet iris with tight ruffles on edges. A thin white median stripe extends the discreet light blue beard. Perfect stems and exceptional vigour.

White standards, laced and infused mauve . Purple falls, edged white, large white zonal area. Yellow-orange beards . Ruffled and pronounced fragrance. (Nichols 1990)

Medium purplish blue, slightly lighter on the falls. Surprising dark blue beards surrounded by dark red markings. Medium sized, lightly ruffled flowers in keeping with the size of the plant.

Upright, light mahogany standards, broad, buttery yellow falls under the copper-orange beards, edged and stippled with coppery red. Fine midline in mahogany. Superb shape, numerous flowers bordered by small frills. Good branching. (Black 2011)
