Christy,
The signal and color certainly look Siberian. The lack of standards does not, size of falls is relative. How did my mini perform this year? Not a show quality flower but a great landscape effect this year.

From a genetic standpoint, the absolute best bet for pulling balanced types of Ensibs in a wider color range is an ugly little seedling from a cross of a JI and SIB type. The Siberian/Ensib crosses are not my first choice to cross with but it appears this mix just may stir the gene pool enough to provide some surprises.

I've shipped one start to Rita Gormley for trials and barring a gopher attack, I'm hoping to begin sending starts to some of the Convention gardens in a year or two so everyone can make their own assessment.
