"One interesting feature of iris blossoms is that in many species and varieties the upper surface of the falls is equipped with a beard consisting of fuzz. The beard gives pollinators (bees) something to hold on to as they enter the Iris blossom in search of nectar."
This is info about your discovery. Many times photos of Iris don't show this because the petals are folded over it. Sometimes the "beards" are yellow.
