Re: Looking for assistance identifying a Siberica.
Hi Joyce,
Sino-sibs are the species of siberian iris' that come from China.
'Sino' is from the ancient Greek word 'Sinai', which refers to China.
Sino-sibs include the species; Iris chrysographes, I. forrestii,I.
bulleyana, I. clarkei, I. delavayi, I. dykesii and I. wilsonii.
The regular Siberian Irises include species; Iris sibirica, I. sanguinea
and I. phragmitetorum.
Welcome to the group. If you want to understand more about irises and
their familial relationships you may check out Fritz Kohlein's book
called 'Iris'.
Good luck,
Ken Girard
