Need ID on this pretty Iris

Yukon, OK(Zone 7b)

Hiyaa, I am trying to ID this Iris. I got it marked as an unknown yellow iris from JoanJ in July 2005.
I wouldn't call it yellow, but it does have yellow edges. The falls are more of a mauve color. Large flowers held over 28" from the ground.
I'm going to post several photos.
Thanks Joan for this awesome plant. I just divided it because my mom fell in love with it this spring so I'm splitting the clump with her.

Okay, if you still have some strength after all those photos, I have 2 more unidentifieds that I'm not as gung ho to have names for.
This one is a baby pink and though the blooms were fairly large, they are short. Maybe 14 inches above the ground and held above the leaves.
I got this one from Weegy (Louise) THANKS!

And this one. A vibrant yellow with white in the center of the falls. Huge blooms as you can see by my fingers in the photo. Really tall. 30" plus.
This one is also from JoanJ

The first one looks quite a bit like Easter Bonnet. You should buy a rz of EB for side by side comparisons in your garden.

Consider Golden Fire for the yellow, although it grows to about 40-42" for me.
