This iris was seen in the woods on the Mendocino-Sonoma coast. Our native iris is Iris douglasiana and an inland one is Iris purdyi. They rarely are seen in the same area and although I'm seen a lot of Iris douglasiana on my walks, I've never encountered one that looked like this. It seems to be divided into 4s instead of 3s or 6s as is the usual floral structure for flowers in the iris family. I'm curious if others have seen this happen and have clues as to how it happens.
