Strange iris flowers

This Iris setosa grows well but the flower falls never expand to give a good show. There are plenty of flowers, but they're curled up. Is this a normal form for this iris? Is it a cultural problem, like needing more sun? Or just this clone?

Definitely not normal for this species. Here's what they are supposed to look like:

Looks like it is more than just the falls that are abnormal. Don't know what is happening, though.
Actually, I may have an anomaly developing on
Iris typhifolia
, too...
