strange Iris

It's common enough in other plants. I have images of ten tepaled crinums
and four tepaled crinums and if you plant those big gnarly tomatoes like
big zac, you might notice the flowers are nearly doubled except they do
have a pistil. I've seen it in dandelions too and assumed it was some sort
of signalling problem. I even had a chestnut tree image that I probably
lost in the last computer crash where there was a catkin at the apex of the
tree which then sprouted a bud on the top and then leaves, etc and the tree
continued growing through its flower.
Definitely a quality control issue.

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.
