new to irises, id confusion

Vashon, WA(Zone 8b)

My very first irises are blooming. I have 2 that are supposedly Iris tenax (a Pacific Northwest native I was told), but the flowers are a completely different color. I am wondering if they really are the same type of plant, or if one is something else. If anyone has a clue, I'd appreciate your input. Thanks. Heres one of them:

Looks like the native tenex, and occassionaly you will find it in the wild both colors
