Six to eight Years ago a friend gave me four plants of this Iris, according to him it was a Louisiana Iris I provided the best recommended conditions, boggy soil and even pots immersed in water, it kept growing and multiplying but gave no flowers. I got so fed up that last year I pulled them out and dumped them in a corner of the garden.
I gave a few plants to Irfan and was surprised to find they bloomed for him. This morning I visited that remote corner of my Thokar garden and this is what I saw;
A friend has suggested that it may not be what you think it is and perhaps requires different treatment.
What Iris is it?

Re: What Iris is it?
Brig Sahib it is certainly not Louisiana, Bearded or Japanese Iris which leaves us with the most plausible option of it being a Iris Sibirica (Siberian Iris). Attached is a photo of a Siberian Iris from NZ Gardener April 2014 issue whose flower layout and shape bears resemblance to your Iris.

Perhaps it might be Iris pseudacorus found mainly in yellow colour.
