Maybe wild collected Iris danfordiae were sold many years ago, before 
they found the large-flowered triploid that multiplies so fast by 
bulbils - a nurseryman's dream.

There is a picture of a diploid one here:

it is difficult to grow.

I bought a diploid danfordiae from Alan McMurtrie of Ontario, Canada. 
This article describes his search for it in Turkey.
