??? WHAT IS THIS IRIS?

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to figure out what this bearded iris is.  It was the first to
bloom in my garden.  Like all my bearded iris, it is an unknown.  (I DO keep
track of my beardless irises, though, and I plan to label my bearded iris
once I figure out what the heck they are!)  Here are the vital statistics:

        ht: about 1 foot high (that's the height of the bloom from ground to
standards)
        foliage: NOT purple-based (checked that today!)
        beards: white
        veining: yellow
        standards: sort of a light lilac blue.  They started out with a
touch of yellow that made them look a bit grey.  The yellow shade has faded
so they are more light lilac blue now.
        falls: maroon-purple-brownish in the center with about 1/8 inch
edging all around of the same light lilac color

I'm still trying to figure out what I think of the color combination.  Maybe
it just looks odd near all my red and orange tulips...  Seems to be growing
rather well, though...  

Thanks in advance for your help in getting an ID.
