Don't think this is reichenbachii.
Looks very much as what I grow here as Iris pumila arenaria

An iris generally known as Iris arenia(humilis) has been in south Central Alaska for about 55 years. It looks like yours Luc. Has an amazing fragrance of carntations/cloves/pinks. Spreads by about 3" stolons to make a wide patch like typical "sand iris".

The individual flowers last a day, blooming in mass one day, then a few the next, then a mass the third day, and repeat. For about 10-14 days.

Another dwarf yellow iris there (maybe I. mandshcurica) is more gracile in all parts, more of a greenish yellow, has the scent of Viola odorata, and spreads much slower, but same short lived individual flowers.

Might yours, Kris, be a hybrid? A very good and hardy one indeed.

I never noticed the scent. I have other yellow Iris pumila and this one is different  from them.
Like Jim said it has slow growth . I got it as Iris reichenbachii seed.
