Welcome to Iris-talk, John. You learn many valuable things here, most of them true.
The most likely reason for your getting white irises among those that have always been purple is that you had some bee pods that scattered seeds there in past years, and now seedlings are blooming which are very unlike their parents. When irises clone themselves by sprouting from the rhizomes, they never change color.

My wife and I enjoy and grow irises. We are novices when it comes to
plant breeding. Can anyone tell us why our normally purple variety is
blooming white in patches with no apparent invasion of other
varieties.
