Iris ID'd by Oron and Trevor as Iris tuberosa, syn. Hermodactylus tuberosus

I  went to collect some more donkey manure a  couple of days ago. (Thank-you Donkeys)

Whilst I was there I saw a massive clump of Iris unguicularis but I also saw this iris, which I don't know.







Any ideas?
Thanks.
Daisy :)

 :) Oron, do you ever sleep? Hermodactylus tuberosus for sure. I've known this one since forever but those others mentioned earlier inc blue those I'd love to see and (if possible) get some seeds. Do you think these vari-coloured populations would be stable Oron? tn

Thank-you Oron and Trevor.
I soon as I saw the name, I thought, I know that, why had I forgotten?
