Probably is, then! I can't remember who I planted where, and I do have 'Native Warrior'. I got him a couple years back on one of our excursions to Heronswood!

I was thinking it might be one of my PCI noids which i whad given a couple of folks at a swap a few years ago (can't remember who though). My Native Warrior didn't make it so can't say if that is it. Here's my noid:

Mike, I should have a pic of that black PCI tonight. Remember seeing that one last year, when it was just a baby (I received it in trade)? That sucker has grown! The buds were ready to pop last night, so I expect to see a flower tonight.

Nah Doris... they're all terrible... send them to me and I'll take care of them LOL! I have four new ones from Mike, one has bloomed so far and I can't wait for the others to bloom also.

My iris tectorum alba is also blooming that I got from KellieD, it's gorgeous!
