References:

From Joe Pye Weed catalog, 2014: BLUEBIRD KISSES - SIBERIAN. Schafer/Sacks (Seedling No. S06-28-10), 28", M. When we saw a pair of Bluebirds in a tender moment last spring, we immediately thought of the name for this iris. Simple in color - medium blue, yet complex in form. Full, round and ruffled falls are decorated with neat blue twirlson the tips of semi upright styles. Sweet white signal. A tremendous amount of bloom on a clump with flowers justabove the foliage. Two branches and four buds per stalk. Good vigor. (Barefoot Boy x (((Jaybird X Sailor's Fancy) x Riverdance) x ((Forrest McCord x Isabelle) x Careless Sally))) X Barefoot Boy. $35.00
