Thanks to everyone who answered! I agree that the photos do not match the descriptions. More NOIDs....*sigh*. I took a second photo of "Garden Whispers" (not) today and the lighting was different:

In the most recent photo, it looks a whole lot like Megwitch in this photo on the Wildwood website:

The person who sent this iris to me grows Megwitch, so perhaps she mixed them up when she sent them to me (??)

Again, thanks to all!
