{Disarmed} CULT - New Member

Good morning sib lovers:  I am a new member who lives in East Texas where we have hot wet summers (not true the past two summers, well the hot part was).  I have tried to grow sibs by ordering the special from Ensata and from Clarence Mahon at different times.  The only ones that have survived are Caeser's Brother and a light speckled blue that has long since lost its name tag but these have grown spectacularly with little help.  I have many huge clumps of each.  I crossed CB with some PCI last spring and got seeds, so will be interested to see if any germinate.  Any suggestions as to forgiving Siberian iris.  I understand there are quite a few different types of sibs according to number of chromosomes and only one will cross with PCI.  I have the McEwen book on Siberians and have read at it.  Any help will be appreciated.  I am planning to order a few in October from Iris City Gardens as they were further south (that was my rationalization in ordering frorm Mahon) and here is the list of possibilities: Blue Rosette, Dark Circle, Ewen, Gulls, Wing, Ruffled Velvet, Shaker's Prayer, Kamayama, Lady Lilac, Little Tricolor, Maggie Smith, Wall Street Blues, and Chance Beauty narrowed down to Gulls Wing, Shakers Prayer, Little Tricolor and Maggie Smith.  Any thoughts or other Southern sources?
