Well, it looks like I get to play the NOID game. This iris opened today amid a clump of Chasing Rainbows. I never ordered this, and I've never seen it before, and assume that it was a mistake.

Due to the borer mass dig, it is no longer where it was originally planted. Because I have a number of iris that I planted many years ago that are only blooming for the first time since they've been relocated to a sunnier spot, I have no way to determine who I ordered it from. Furthermore, some of the sellers I ordered from in the past are no longer in business or they were on ebay.

I've searched the database and while I've found things similar, I haven't found an exact match from the pictures.

It is IMO at least 20 years old, I guess you call this tailored? The standards are an eye popping gold with a beard of the same color. It's a big flower the size of my hand, and I guess I'd call the falls flared.

No purple based foliage, standards are solid color (no wash). Falls are what might be described as brick red, mahogany, or oxblood with a random darker wash, some small striations of yellow by the beard.
