I am not a botanist or horticulturist by formal training but came up through
National Garden Clubs Judges program including AIS Judges schools since the
mid '60's. It sure looks like I. sibirica as does Shaker's Prayer. I had a
similar iris in my garden that just appeared in the late '60's and Steve Vainer
was in the garden and I asked him about it and he said "it was not finished" and
I am still wondering what I was supposed to do-it does show in my
parentage's. However it was tossed many years ago as inferior. After many years of
hybridizing-from Mr. Cassebeer, Dr. McGarvey, Bee Warburton, Dr. Currier McEwen,
Steve Varner, Robert Hollingworth, Marty Schafer/Jan Sachs, + numerous others
....... to name a few-selecting and improving the forms and colors of siberians
a'la SSI. New people are coming along and newly discovering which in the '60's
were considered species. At a later date I may find photos that had
description and send it to the list. In fact I have located it.
