Crocosmia 'Plaisir' mixup

I have recently bought two plants of Crocosmia 'Plaisir', described on 
the tags as having salmon colored flowers.  The one I bought in 
Washington state has not opened its buds yet, but its stems are green.  
The one I bought in Oregon is in full bloom, has purple stems and 
calyces, and enormous flowers.  I'd like to know what it is, as I am sure 
it is not 'Plaisir'.

Flower 6.5 cm (2.5 in) across.  Petals dark orange, then a ring of red 
where the petals join, then three of the petals have pale yellow and all 
six petals have red-purple marks at their bases.  The backs of the petals 
are dark orange with infusions, but no definite pattern, of red-purple.

It is not Emily Mackenzie.
