Welcome Robert! It's nice to have you stop by! Your iris is beautiful!
The lighting in the photos makes it a little hard to tell the colors. If you can get photos in different lighting situations it helps. I did a search through that database and have a possible match for you...but you need to know there are something like 60,000 registered irises and the database is incomplete so there are lots out there that don't have photos for comparison. Based on what I was seeing I think your iris might be Chuckles. Our database photos vary a lot depending on lighting. I think you can get a better idea of what Chuckles looks like by following the link below.
I'm not sure about whether the beard color is right. It's very difficult to tell from the photos. But there are not too many of this type of iris (Plicata) with that combination of standard (the top 'petals') and fall (the lower 'petals') colors. The big indicator for me is the very prominent stripe down the center of the falls.
Remember, just because we have a potential match you need to do a lot more checking before you can be sure. Mary Ann, Arlyn, and Tom have given you a good description of the process in the posts above. Please don't expect that we will be able to identify all your Noid (No ID - or identification) irises. The ones with distinctive colors and patters are much easier than many others. I hope this helps!
