Beautiful Gt.....I'm pleased you've posted this....I took a photo of an Iris my boss has growing and can't remember the name of...it's very similar. Only about 2.5 inches across, with the same thin strappy leaves. I haven't heard of setosa before..........

Thanks for the comments. :-) It ranges in blue from almost white to a deeper purple. It is just the size you are describing Janey. A good clump here is between two and three feet tall. I added the latin name and linked it to GOYpedia, called the beachhead iris there. I'll get the pics loaded up. Resembles those blue bell fields I've seen posted over there.

Do you have pics posted to check out Simbad?
