Default Unknown Iris

Does anyone happen to know which Iris this is? I'm assuming it's an Iris!
For 2 or 3 years, we've had a clump of leaves in very scant soil on the
edge of a pond and this year we have flowers for the first time. It's not
in the water, though it may get a bit of dampness if any splashes over the
edge of the liner. It's obviously put itself there but we have no idea how.

It could be a seedling from Holden Clough, unfortunately some nurseries grow
from seed as it's a lot quicker than splitting the rhyzome as it should be
done.

Did you know this......
