I think Siberians are just too hard to identify with a photo. Some are so slight in differences it's difficult to ID them in person. I try to make it to the Eartheart Garden display every year to take photos and I have to be extra careful marking down the ID of each picture I take... otherwise I can't ID my own photos when I get home. Even then - I wonder if I make a few mistakes. With Sibs there are early-mid-and late varieties just like there are with bearded irises. Here the peak bloom time is about the 2-3rd week of June. Of course it would be earlier in milder climates. The Japanese peak is in mid July here... about a month later.
