Jim, I’m not Colleen,
but Barry’s Siberian stock comes from Schaefer/Sachs lines. It looks like Huntress comes from the
Salamander Crossing lines. Maureen Ottawa,

[sibrob] Aussie Bloom season
Hi Some of
you may know me from Iris-talk. I live in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia
and have a commercial iris and daylily nursery. I am getting more and more fond
of siberian irises. I have only about 20 different cultivars but am slowly
building my collection. There is not a huge market for siberians in Australia
as many places are not cold and/or damp enough but I love their lovely fresh
foliage and their later blooming. This year they are looking exceptional as we
have had a very wet and humid spring ( well, by our standards anyway) Here
are a some of Barry Blyth's new ones (04 releases) that have bloomed for
the first time this season. As the plants are still small I think they will be
better next year, even so David's Sone seems to be a very clear blue with
lovely form. Huntress may be a weird colour and not the wide form I so like,
but it's growing extremely well. Heartwave is a lovely lavender-pink. Colleen
