RE: Siberican Lily/Iris/Potato

Judging by your posts, I suspect that I wrote lily" but meant "iris."

I am going to assume I am talking about the "Iris Siberica."  What can
anyone tell me about it?

Please take a photo of lily when it blooms.  I've never heard of this 
lily so would be interested to see what it looks like.

Sibiricae are the 11 beardless species iris, so I wonder about your lily.

Any description of the plant or flower?  A lot of things with the common
name lily aren't lilies at all.  I have gone through my books and can't find
any lily with a variation on Siberican.
Scarborough Lily was the closest, 6 petaled red flowers on a 1-2' plant. 
Does that sound like it?
