Does anyone have a clue? I once bought Summer Sky from the local AIS sale and I was given some Lavender Bounty in a trade. This doesn't seem to match either. It's a gorgeous shade of blue and was rather tallish this season. This is the first time it's bloomed for me.
Here's a shot of it with the blue buds are part of this plant. The ferns are about 3' tall give or take a few-several inches. Sorry about the focus factor.
If I knew Siberians, I could help direct you in the right direction. Maybe someone else can help.

Unfortunately the sibs are as hard to identify as the bearded. It definitely is not Lavender Bounty. It could be Summer Sky. Summer Sky is a very dainty flower and the stems are very slender, compared to more recent intros. Summer Sky blooms midseason, and tops out, in my garden, at about 30 in., registered at 28 in. The standards are just a little deeper color than the falls.
It's an older one, for sure, with those tall standards.
Does Summer Sky's description above fit your plant?
If not, please give description, height, blooming season, etc. Any other sibs you have purchased that you recall?
Not summer sky.
I'm sorry, you're right, as usual Boojum. The one I was thinking of is Summer Skies. I have them both.

Mine in the shade is a little darker than this pic.
