My guess straight out of the box on just these two pictures is that you do NOT have "Affaire". There is no white edge to the Falls on yours that is distinctive on the edge on the Blyth. Your plants standards are tightly bunched up (other pictures may show this "trait" relaxing making it a non-issue). If this "bunch" stays throughout the bloom, this would indicate not being Affaire.
On the plus side, the standards do appear to have the same type of yellow veining on the standards and the purple/lavendar tint to the standards appears to be the same.
MORE PICTURES PLEASE!!!
Has it bloomed yet this year?

Lestv said:Little breaks in color sometimes happen because of weather conditions. I have had this happen on a few iris in my garden.
I agree that more pictures would be helpful. I am not positively convinced that your Affaire is outside the range of variation for Affaire.
Lestv said:Yours is definitely missing the white rim around the falls, and is much darker than other pics I have looked up. I wish there was a picture of Affaire's style arms to compare with yours.
There is one thing they both have in common - the rumpled falls. The pics of Affaire in our database also have crumpled falls. I wonder if you have a seedling from Affaire......
