The 3 pictures below are of Jaybird. I just happen to remember the name of that one because it was the first Siberian iris that I ever bought. After that I bought lots of Siberian iris, but very few of them made it. Not enough water in the beginning. The next 3 pictures are of another one I bought, can't remember the name since it was one of a dozen I purchased. It is a deeper color purple, and the flower form is more narrow than Jaybird. The clump is not as substantial as Jaybird because it is about 2 years younger. And the last picture is another variety. Too bad none of the white varieties I purchased seem to have made it. Like bearded iris, the Siberian iris come in some wonderful color combinations. I had one of my best years ever with my beardeds, maybe they liked that super cold snap in February. But I think I'm going to get more reliable blooming from the Siberian iris over time.
