Photo of Iris ID help - I know it's not a TB   ;-)

Good morning!

I've potted up some divisions of an iris I've had for a few years, given to me by a neighbor who said he'd give me a name tag for it... and of course, he never did.

I know it's virtually impossible to get a correct cultivar name in person, much less by photo, but what I'd like to know is the class for this one.

What do you all think? Is it a Siberian, Japanese or Louisiana - or something else? Thanks for any help - I'm donating these to a fundraising plant sale for a little boy with a nasty childhood cancer, and while the folks who come to this sale aren't super-serious gardeners, I would like to be able to let them know at least the class.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Here's the first photo. It was taken on June 7, 2006, here in Falls Church. I'd guess the stalk (scape?) was about 15" high.
