There is a variegated Iris pseudacorus. If that's what you have,
don't let it get loose in the garden. They are nice but can be
invasive.

Thanks for the info Charles. You made me Google & I came up with "Gold
Variegated Sweet Iris"
Cheers Wendy

Probably Iris pallida "variegata" (blue/violet).
But could also be the normal I. pseudoacorus "variegata" (yellow) or I.
kaempferi "variegata" (blue/violet) but both those are bog plants.
A shot of the flowers IDC will confirm which.
