Re: Fwd: RE: [sibrob] Fwd: Can you identify this species?

Thanks so much for all the assistance folks.  My little mystery iris
finally has a desigantion; i. siberica.  I love the dwarf stature and
the purple throat and may play with crossing it to some other dwarf
sibs that I have to see what shows up.  I sure appreciate everyones
help.
