Name that flower!

So, I planted some lovely flowers about a month and a half ago, and while I was planting I saw a couple other plants only a few inches tall. They didn't look like weeds, so I thought I might as well leave them and see what they turned out to be. So, finally a few days ago, they blossomed! I'm not sure what they are, but they're beautiful! I think they could be some kind of iris or something, but I'm not very good with flowers, so I don't know. If anyone has an idea, let me know! They're really tall now and have long stiff leaves. Here's a picture of one of them:And here's a close-up of the flower:
Here's another picture with all my flowers by the back patio. I'm so proud! They're doing really well. The mystery flowers kind of stick out, but I don't care. They're pretty. :)
While I was taking pictures outside, I thought I would put up another couple pictures of our garden. It's grown a lot since I last put some up. We've gotten a lot of zucchini, herbs, and peppers. We're waiting for the green beans and cucumbers to grow and the tomatoes to ripen.

I am terrible with flower names too so I am glad other people know what they are called. Your flowers do look beautiful and that garden is oh so big now! wow, great job!
