Genus and species:
Iris reticulata
Common Name: Reticulated Iris
Family Name: Iridaceae
This flower parts are in threes and grows up to two feet tall then flops over. The leaves are square and pointy on top--kind of like the Washington Monument :) The petals stand straight up (called standards). They come in lavender, purple, and white.
