There are too many differences in the pictures to make a positive ID. It's really almost impossible to do that anyway, unless it's so unique there's nothing like it anywhere. Smart has what appears to be some orange on the beard in the throat and that doesn't seem to be evident in yours. Little Episode has a dart starting from the base of the falls, and at times going all the way up to the beard, and that isn't evident in your iris. If you really love the iris, you can enjoy it without a name. But if you just want one like that with a name, you can always order one of the named varieties and discard the NOID. If you're Hell bent on getting an ID for your little one, then be ready to spend lots of time getting similar ones and growing them next to your NOID to try to ID it. It has to bloom at the same time, be the same height, the standards have to match exactly when you tear it apart, as do the falls, and style arms. It also would have the same fragrance. There are so many unregistered seedlings that just start in someone's garden from seeds that then get shared out and never named. This seems to happen more easily with the little ones. Good luck with what ever you choose to do. Smiling
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
