Hi -- It looks like a straight I. sibirica white to me. I have one
that looks very similar grown from seed labeled as I. sibirica
(although obviously that's not definitive as to origin). The "dirty
white" falls and blue lines at the haft are identical and, I believe,
fairly typical of sibirica. Strangely enough white I.sibirica x I.
white I. sanguinea generally gives blue progeny (due to gene
complementation because the two mutations leading to loss of
anthocyanin pigments are not the same). As Bill points out, both the
flower form and the multiple buds in the terminal are characteristic
of I. sibirica. Bob
