Iris ID from photo - can it be done ?

I have seen lots of attempts to ID iris flowers online and it is very difficult unless the flower is as distinctive as say VIBRATIONS...

For example I have uploaded 2 photos of Decadence, they show a normal flower and one with a partially washed out fall (a common occurrence) In both photos I have a color reference (3 colored dots of the type commonly available) which helps to understand the effects of light etc. if you can recognize what color the dots should be.

Unless you grow your Iris side by side with a known variety it is unlikely you can be sure of it's true ID.
