Default Vaguely related to mowing the lawn...

I keep seeing these fans of blade-like leaves appearing in my lawn, they just get mowed assuming it's a weed.
But this year there are loads more and I've let several grow and flower. Looks like some sort of Iris.
Anyone who is more of a gardener than me (i.e. anyone at all!) know what they are?
