I read this with much interest since I eagerly checked the
Siberian photos as well. I came to one conclusion about the
classic Siberians I grow that were exhibited on the HIPS page:
I don't have the correct cultivar of 'My Love' or it fits into
the same category as 'Perry's Blue'. Whatever I have that is
calling itself 'My Love' is a wonderfully charming Siberian. :)

I guess so and thanks to Mike for maintaining this wonderful
HIPS page and giving us some classic Siberians to gush over.
Cheers,
Ellen (wondering what the imposter in her garden really is..)
