Sorry, Sue. I looked it up, and couldn't find any Lilium siberica, or
anything with the common name Siberica Lily. The only thing that had
siberica in it and resembles a lily is Iris siberica. Could you phone the
company you bought it from and ask for the Latin name? If that doesn't
work, perhaps if you gave a detailed description of the bulb someone
might recognize it.
I can see how you would be concerned, planting lilies is very different
from planting iris or whatever...
