Hi Everyone,
Edmundas, neither of the posts you made reached me although they are in the
Yahoo archives. Odd.
I'd be inclined to go with the descriptions provided by Dr. Rodijonenko. All
of the reference books I have say pretty much the same thing... No red or
purple spathes or leaf bases.
Ken, I haven't paid much attention to germination rates for siberica,
typhifolia, or sanguinea much less thought to compare them. Perhaps you'd be
interested in doing a study? :-)

Enjoying a pretty rose colored Siberian seedling (SIGNA seed) that just
opened and is definitely NOT chrysographes.
