From Joe Pye Weed catalog, 2014: DRINK YOUR TEA - SIBERIAN. Schafer/Sacks (Seedling No. S0?-102-10), 31", EM. Apricot tea with lemon. (Actually this iris was named with another bird in mind - our Eastern Towhee who sings this song sweetly and incessantly all spring.) Orangey-brown falls are set off by pale apricot standards and styles. The flowers are small and are held beautifully above the foliage making a stunning clump. There are many stalks which never appear crowded. One branch with five buds per stalk.
