I have only seen lavender irises growing on the variegated foliage and sometimes after awhile the foliage would revert to green. Here is something interesting from Mid America Garden this year.

VARIEGATED WONDER (Black ‘14) Midseason-Late 40” (102cm) ‘Variegated Wonder’ is a sport of the Award of Merit winner ‘Wonders Never Cease’. It is a major advancement in form for variegated foliage TBs. The flower is exactly the same as ‘Wonders Never Cease’. It is also one of the most stable with very few green reversions since its appearance in the garden. Stalks are also variegated. It is fertile and has given a number of seedlings with variegated foliage and one with superbly formed variegated flowers. Amazing to get variegated foliage and flower together. Sdlg. sport of ‘Wonders Never Cease’ $55.00

Look up Wonders Never Cease. It is a lovely iris.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
