Some kind of Iris

Okay, one more thread, then I'm done. Sorry, I just love perennials, so it's fun talking about them!

This is the ONLY plant that was at my house when I bought it, just a single plant by its lonesome on the back corner of the house. It's some kind of Iris, but no idea what kind. It was raining yesterday when I noticed it had bloomed. It doesn't bloom very long, so I took some quick pics of it even though it was raining. But they actually turned out kind of cool with the rain drops! Anyone know what kind this is by chance?

I googled Siberian Iris and WOW there are tons of different varieties! I haven't found one exactly like this, but they are so similar, I think you're right Jessi! Thanks!!!!

Found this link with several of the varieties, but none of these look quite right.

But it says there are only a few of the varieties out there. Wow, I had no idea!
