It's one that was /is both very popular, and very prolific ! I'll bet it has been "passed along", more than any other iris

.
Lent Williamson would be a good one to check, also...it's another oldie that was really popular.

The second one looks a bit like "Fashion Diva" which was introduced in 2009 but it's hard to tell from the picture and doesn't quite look exactly the same.
