I have Steve (ordered from Wayside in fact). It is certainly not one of my
tallest Siberians. I would say this year it was less than 24 inches (many
were short this year; however). It is not royal, saturated blue. The
flower is a light - medium blue. I thought the flower was pretty and had
good substance; however, I do not recall if it had flat form.
Hope this helps.
