I have a seedling that is a great plant (healthy, vigorous, well porportioned,

Maybe redo the cross and try for good plant + good flower?

I don't know Lapwing, but Stingray is unlikely to produce any modern-looking
seedlings. It is tall and well-branched. It is also a reblooming fool: I
only have one stalk on it now, the fewest for any week in the past year or
two. It is probably the least modern-looking iris in my garden.
Good luck with your future hybridizing, Sterling!
