Referring back to the unknown, here is a pic of my Dottie's Double. No doubt the mystery is a virginica of some sort. Dottie's Double often has deformed flowers among the better looking ones. In this cultivar the standards look like falls, hence the 6 fall-no standard look to the flowers. I've never tried sowing selfed Dotties Double....I expect the offspring may revery back to normal virginica but I daresay some would show variations on the 6-falls...maybe the mystery plant is a Dotties Double offspring.

BTW, I crossed Dotties Double to Iris versicolor 'Kermisina' (forming a X robusta) and all the offspring looked like versicolor but had the colour of the Dotties Double....the 6-falls aspect did not pass on to the offspring.
