Can anyone identify this un-named Iris.

Thanks

When were the pictures taken?

Looks a lot like Iris spuria ssp. maritima to me. Having said that I rarely get anything right!

Ralph, should have mentioned that it flowers in June.

I'm thinking maybe I. sintenisii?

I think Iris sintenisii too - the long, tongue-like falls suggest that to me.
Absolutely cracking good plant!

Lesley/Maggi thank you both, & all others who helped.
Can't remember where the plant came from but it always flowers very well.
