Can you tell me what this might be?

It blooms late. Looks like an iris blade or a grass. It gets a long narrow cluster of orange red buds. Finally it opens to a row down the stem of one inch or maybe larger orange and yellow almost lily looking flowers. Quite lovely. I know not where it came from but for four years it has been showing up here and there and finally had time to bloom. Could be something from a GW seed exchange that ended up not growing and soil got tossed in the garden beds.
