Hi Mike,
I have not seen the photo yet but, if you run your fingers across the grain
of one of the leaves and feel no stem it is a good chance it is a Siberian.
If there is a stem running up the center of the leaves, chances are, that it
is not a Siberian. I have never seen anything different, but my experience
with Siberians is limited to a hundred or so.
