You have nice clear pics but I'm not familar with all of the names. The ones I think you can rule out as belonging to the pics follow. Here is a link (daves garden) where you can see pics of most. There's an alphabet --- many pages to each letter! It's not the fastest site on iris.
Another site is:
http://www.bluejiris.com/ has color categories for faster searching.

Best Bet
Beverly Sills
Champagne Elegance
Congratulations
Earl of Essex
Immortality
Joyce Terry
Mother Earth
Pink Attraction
Superstition
Taco Supreme

Thank you so much, Carol. I've never seen obedient plant in bloom, so this is a nice surprise. Do you know in what part of their growth cycle are they "obedient"? I just tried to gently curve a couple of flower stems but got no joy.
