Re: Trying to locate Siberian Iris 'Steve'

Dear Chris,
      Thank you for your inquiry.   I am going to answer you in an unusual way.    Although you sent your inquiry to me individually, I am going to answer you and send my answer to an Iris chat group called Iris-Talk.   It will get posted real soon, and there are many more people in the iris-talk community that can possibly help.   I'm hoping one of them can answer you directly.
      I can't tell from your message when you need the iris flowers.   If it is this year (probably), and you planted the siberians last year, you would be lucky if they bloom in time.   Most Siberian iris take two to three years to establish a good blooming clump.
      I also can't tell what City and State you are in.   And are you hoping someone would be able to ship you flowers in bloom, or the plants?   
Sincerely,
Kitty Loberg, Region 14 RVP

    Subject: Trying to locate Siberian Iris 'Steve'
    
    
    I'm trying to find anyone who is growing a Siberian Iris called 'Steve' (very dark blue falls with light blue midde).  My daughter saw it in the Park Seed Catalog and told me that is the flower she wants in her wedding bouquet.  I bought plants, but it would be nothing short of a miracle if they bloom this year.
     
    I visited several iris sites on the web looking for anything close to the dark blue.  There are several bearded iris, but they usually have a yellow beard, which my daughter doesn't want.
     
    Depending on the monitor colors, these look pretty close (not Siberians):
      Honky-Tonk Blues
      Regency Bell
      Over in Gloryland
      Color Coded
     
    and light blue:
      Autumn Sapphire
      Electric Shock
     
    The problem is my daughter doesn't want any blues on the pink side.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
