Irises: Could someone assist with this identification?, 1 by WUVIE

Hello all,

I realize with all the hybridization, that it is not as simple
as putting up a picture for a postiive identification, but
I was hoping I have an older cultivar which may be standard
enough for an id, or at least a species name.

This particular bloom, among many other Iris, were rescued
from a site which will soon be bulldozed for construction.
The previous owner was an elderly gentleman who has since
passed, so it was only appropriate to save these for him and
ensure they survive. Yes, I do have permission from the new
owner to remove them.

There is no doubt the Iris have been there for quite some time,
as they are absolutely crammed along the fenceline all around
the home, masses of them.

Thanks to a wonderful Dave's Garden member, I now have a
great book on Iris, but in looking at all the photos, I'm a bit puzzled
as to what I have.

If any of you have the Gardener's Guide to Growing Irises by
Geoff Stebbings, the bloom I think I may have is on page nine
of the introduction, I. 'Meter White', a tall bearded cultivar.

The same browish veining, the same slight tinge of a very gentle
purple, everything looks right.

I'll include a few photos, but as they were taken indoors, I'm not
sure the color will ring true.

Many thanks for any assistance.
