Ken thanks for posting the real longipetala. I did some reading and
strangely enough the description well matches my plant... everything
but the long petals.
One other peculiar item is that the flowers on mine are attracting
those tiny black ants. I've never known an iris to do this. Are
ants attracted to Siberians? Are they attracted to I. longipetala?
I don't recall ever reading about it before.
And no, there's no aphids to be found...... besides, when ants &
aphids get together it's usually at the base of a plant, not at the
flowers.
