None too pretty Iridaceae!

Grown from seed. Label long gone! Help!
Seems very variable in colour from yellowish to purpleish!

Looks like a Pacific coast Iris to me - innominata perhaps? Or a hybrid thereof?

I also once bought 'Iris forrestii' which turned out to be a hybrid with similar colouring to your plant.
