This is the coastal plain variety of the Vernal Iris (Iris verna verna). We were surprised to see such a colorful bloom emerging from the seemingly sterile sandhill soils of Cheraw State Park, but this variety thrives in the coastal plain. Total plant height about 5 inches. Note from the specks on the Iris that pine pollen season was in high gear.
