the attached foto is of a seedling raised from SIGNA seed. Offered as
typhifolia hybrid. If so, then the other parent would be siberica, I
would think. Any opinions? have others bloomed seedlings from this seed?

The other parents were siberian cultivars, these crosses were made by Dave Niswonger. His plants are mostly selections of I. sanguinea as are the majority of siberian cultivars.

I have a few seedlings that flowered for the second time this year. They are early and in shades o! f blue to pink but the flowers are not exciting. I think we need to cross these seedlings with each other to get a wider _expression_ of the hybrid.

The old 'Caesars Brother' was an actual cross between I. siberica and I. sanguinea. It wasn't until Schafer/Sacks started working with both species that we began to see more than a very few new hybrids.
