These were blooming at the test garden - I was told they are the old historic iris found at abandoned home site.

Looks like a LA iris.

Except those beards are not typical of an LA. I wonder if is is a flattie (flat bearded iris).

A flat bearded iris - OK. I don't know much about irises but am learning every time I get on this forum.
Wish I gotten a better picture of it...it started blooming early March.

I was gifted Flat Broke which is a purple, or lavender, 'flattie'. I don't really care for them. I like the traditional form of bearded irises.

Don't make fear based decisions.

Might be too new to be yours, but similar:
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Flopsy')

It’s okay to not know all the answers.

Wow, Flopsy lives up to it's name doesn't it?! They do look similar don't they?

Agree with Bonnie. Not my type of iris.
