Boysenberry Buttercup - only, not

I bought this rhizome at a local society sale last year, faithfully
marked the location with the name given, kept an eye on it all winter,
watched it grow and flourish in its new home.  It was supposed to be
BOYSENBERRY BUTTERCUP (which I picked because I liked the name, had no
idea what the colors would be).  A search of hort.net's archives
showed me that it'd be a beautiful bloom with yellow standards and
blue falls.

I was rewarded for getting up early by seeing the first iris bloom
this year. But what the heck is it? It surely isn't BOYSENBERRY. I'm
not going to stress out too much on ID'ing this one, but if anyone
happens to recognize it, please let me know. It does have interesting
colors, and I included a top-down shot to show the inside of the
standards, which look very different than the outside.

For some extra information, the stalk is about 15" tall, and the bloom
is 4" from the tip of one fall to the tip of another. The yellowish
shading at the edge of the falls is accurate.

Thanks for any input.
