These are growing right along the road in the shadow of the big Davidia. These used to be bi-generic hybrids, whose parents were
Pardanthopsis dichotoma and
Belamcanda chinensis now changed to
Iris dichotoma and
Iris domestica respectively. Anyway they're cheerful exotically patterned Irids, easily grown in a sunny location. They aren't long lived, usually lasting two or three years, but occasionally if the site is right one or more will take hold. Failing that they seed readily, producing interesting progeny.

Hi there,
Fellow WYG volunteer and blogger here. I love these candylilies and have a couple in my garden. They need to be moved up front though so they can be better enjoyed. See you soon.
