The first one looks like it could be 'Pallida Variegata'. Tends to like a little more water. I have a clump in my garden as well. More yellow on the leaves.Second one could be 'Pallida Albo Veriegata" with white striped leaves. Variations of the same plant basically.

I believe that the yellow and green foliage variety is Iris pallida "Variegata" and the white and green foliage variety is Iris pallida "Argentea" - having seen both recently, blooming at the same time in one of the AIS convention tour gardens, it's quite noticeable that the flowers are different. Variegata has a much larger and robust flower than Argentea. Both have the usual pallida grape soda fragrance.
