Donald,
Could your misidentified iris be CLOSE SHAVE (Duane Meek, '95)? It is
described in the '97 Mid-America Garden catalog as "Pale pink to ivory with
just a pink ridge instead of a beard" (I expect this might vary a bit). I
don't grow it, but perhaps someone who does could give you a first-hand
description.
Glad to hear your wind died down before all your irises were blown to
"Baja"!
