Answers: It looks like a Dutch Iris. Take a look at this one:

This is Iris Setosa:

I've found another Iris Setosa that doesn't have markings as threatening as the first picture, but there still seem to be more on Setosa than on your picture:

I not sure you have Iris Setosa because the markings are really different & not as distinct on yours. Yours doesn't hold the dark black lines on it.
As I look at your 3d pic I see some resemblance to this subsequent Iris & yours, but I still can't see the same markings on yours. Setosa:http://www.badbear.com/signa/signa.pl?di...
Here's some more Iris Setosa, as you can see here, near some really different versions:

I craving I could be more helpful, but I can't tender you a clear yes or no here. Sorry.
P.S. I just notice that the three petals on top of yours are indeed shorter than Dutch Iris. Maybe yours is Iris Setosa...because the three top petals are also short within both. Maybe the markings don't make any difference surrounded by this catagory.
I don't know what type of Iris it is but I did want to comment on your photo album. If all those flowers are contained by your yard, your patio must be a neighborhood attraction! They are beautiful. I own flower gardens but they haven't matured enough to be so overflowing as yours appear to be. What state do you live in?
