I think Flight of Butterflies is pure sibirica, and I
am sure that is how it is how I listed in the SIGNA
Checklist. I try to rarely say things with such
conviction that it does not allow for another opinion
just because none of us are omniscient. But I really
have no doubts at present.
This is my last word here. Next is one description of a FOB lover:
<<<Small plant and flowers. Because flowers are high above folliage and very upright, it appears as if the flowers are suspended, thus the name. I always have this iris in all my gardens.>>>
More descriptions say other things. One says there is a pattern of a butterfly on the petal of the bloom. I cannot find a picture of FOB sited as a clump growing. A few catalogs are now showing a closeup of any perennial bloom and a drawing of the clump as it would look sited in the garden.
I recall, and it could be flawed after a few years, that FOB has branches and many very small flowers. I saw it several times growing in the Berkshire Botanic, West Stockbridge, Mass.
Quite confused now.
I can say this for all the Sibs. Drowned, deprived of sun, subject to strange tropical weather, they are all looking good while the petunias are rotting away.
