I either grew these from seed or got them in a trade. I have quite a few now from them multiplying.

Hmmm....the foliage doesn't really look siberian to me. Japanese iris maybe?

You're in Alabama? I'm guessing Louisiana iris, but I'm not acquainted with the LAs, so it really is just a guess. Could you dig up and wash off a rhizome? If the rz is striped, it's an LA.

Another guess is Iris virginica, but again I'm not personally acquainted with virginicas.

Thanks everyone. I'll google for some of those images and see if I can make a match there.
I moved a bunch last year but can't remember if they had striped rhisomes.
Whichever they are, they do spread pretty fast.
