<< Now, I was wondering about leaves in siberians. Do any of the diploid

 "bluer" leaves tend to be a trait off the darker colored sibs and the
 greener(somewhat yellow) a trait of the white sibs? >>

I have one plant that begins the summer with beautiful purple leaves.  It 
eventually becomes all green.  Debbie at Foxbrook Iris Farm told me about one 
that tended to stay purple all summer and I have lost the notes.  Maybe Andy 
or Debbie would expand on this. The foliage is would be quite dramatic in the 
mixed border.  I would have purchased it this spring but they were out.
