Per Al_HikesAZ:
"They are Irises (Iris missouriensis Nutt. Kearney & Peebles p 195). I checked my reference and I was suprised that they are considered a native species in parts of AZ. Since these are by the fireplace, I suspect that they were planted by the family that lived here. They weren't blooming when I was here. Glad to know the dates that they bloom."
Thanks for your help!

The groundskeepers at my work put us all to shame with the most amazing flowers-- my favorite time of year is when all the Irises are in bloom.
It's 1 December 2009 and there is an Iris blooming in the garden - this sort of thing is supposed to happen in May - I guess it's another indication that the climate is really changing.
I planted these bulbs 4 or 5 years ago and up til now have only ever gotten a leaf or 2. Pulled into the driveway and saw this, and you could have knocked me over with a feather.
About 35 years ago I dug the parent plant of this iris out of a patch of ground that was going to be converted into a parking lot. They're still blooming prolifically today.
Luckily I was standing in front of the first iris of the season when the sun broke through the clouds for all of 30 seconds.
