Dennis and group,

One of the many reasons I like to hybridize with Siberians (and also 
Versicolors) is the lack of  constraints. (Not an excuse for introducing 
mediocre or redundant material) That there is no preferred size and form. 
That a superior Siberian is as much an accent plant as a structural member of 
a planting. 

I do not want to be too blasphemous but bearded hybridizers spend to much 
attention to the novelty of flower color and pattern and not enough to some 
glaring issues of vigor and disease resistance. Many TBs shout out "look at 
me, am I not the biggest and best thing around!" and turn into a plant like 
an oriental poppy in August.

Bill
