I've searched many times for an accurate name for this lovely iris, any ideas?
The color may fade more in our western sun than other areas.
Standard: cream blending down to pale yellow at base, a bit of rich yellow at center.
Fall: light lavender that fades to pale; more towards pink than blue.
Beard: Gold yellow at base fading to white at outside.
40" tall. 5-7 blooms per stem. Mid-season bloomer, reasonably prolific.
Thanks!

Edits: Definitely not PBF (purple-base foliage), but thanks for asking.
Thanks for the other name clues; no match yet.
I've added one more photo from early morning.
Does anyone know if iris can spontaneously mutate?
That is, can a new variety spring up on its own?
