Mine looks like one on left, more reddish.

Subject: [iris-species] Iris tectorum with a slight reddish tint [1 Attachment]
I've been sorting through photos and found one I took this spring of an Iris tectorum grown from SIGNA seed 15CR027. Kalásziné D. Ilona donated the seeds from a plant obtained from the Chen Yi nursery in China. The plant I grew from the seeds is on the left of the attached photo and a more typically blueish purple I. tectorum is on the right. The colors are not radically different but it nice to see some variation among plants that are usually either blue or, occasionally, white. I have a second clone from that seed lat that is looking very healthy; it will likely bloom in 2019.
I donated some seeds from my plant to the SIGNA seed exchange this year.
