Re: I. typhifolia hybrid

---

Ken,

I had assumed it was a complex siberica. As you noted, not that primitive of a flower, although a couple of the seedlings were very primitive and I tossed them.  I've only kept two at this point, but more are coming along.  The plants themselves are rather delicately built and shortish.

Is the other parent necessarily a species or could it be a modern hybrid involving both I. siberica and I. sanguinea ancestry? While the flower is not extremely "modern" in form, it is not particularly species-like. Siberian cultivars are often not derived from just one of the species.

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?
