Default odd iris

...
I have a variety of iris at home and this year three plants have odd blooms
on them I've never seen before. I don't know if they're just blooming for
the first time or if they're defective or virus or the result of some
accidental cross. Both petals and sepals are narrow and it's bearded.


Could be a hybrid that has reverted to species, or maybe a new hybrid. It
looks like a wild type, quite attractive. The American Iris Society might be
able to give you more info. http://www.irises.org/
