Default Iris were yellow, now blue

You have a mix like I have - the blue irises bloom first, then the
yellow. When I thin a bed, it takes longer for the blue irises to
bloom again by a couple of years. So when I last thinned the be, I
had yellow irises the next year and blue irises two years later.

My iris bed is in full bloom. Blossoms were yellow last year now they
are blue. What causes this and will they be blue again next year?
