Round up damage can look very pretty, but it's really hard to identify an Iris if the only pictures show that damage. Your iris is probably blue. Damage shows up first on the outer edges, and continues to lighten until mainly the veins are left with color.
Pictures from the front, or side are the most helpful in putting an ID on an Iris.. Those from the top, not so much. We need to see the shape of the falls, and the form of the flowers, haft markings, beard (is it all yellow, or orange in the throat? Is it tipped in blue, or forming a point? etc..).. Sometimes an ID can come down to very minute details, so clear pictures showing as much as possible, is important.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
