Irises

Can you ID this gaudy beauty?

This was given to me as a peanut-sized rhizome at a local iris society sale six years ago. It has been a mid- to late bloomer for three years now (a week or two after Conjuration).

This is one of those irises that seems to glow from inside and it's a favorite of all the neighbors. Surely something so vigorous and appealing has to be widely grown. Please, can any of you help me put a name to it?
