We were given these flowers a few years ago. I need to relocate them and want to know their tolerances. They are 3 feet tall.

A flag iris maybe?

They look like iris to me.  There are so many different ones.

I assume your plant came from bulbs.

Thank you ladies! It is definitely a flag iris. My research tells me that it spreads by rhizome and maybe seed. I've not seen a seed pod. It looks vaguely like okra, so I think I'd have noticed it.

It says it's invasive here in damp, wet ground... I need something on our property line that drains really really fast! Sounds like a perfect place to save some purty flowers!
