Help identifying perennial

About a month ago I cleared away part of an overgrown sweetbush near the corner of my house. It exposed soil that probably hadn't seen much sun in the last 5 years. During this past month I have not planted or done anything to the area that I cleared. About 1 week ago I noticed some flowers peaking up out of the ground in the cleared site and all of a sudden within a week I have these flowers pop up that are 24"-36" tall on long straight stalks. They grew prolifically. I've never seen anything grow that fast. They went from poking out of the ground to nearly 3 feet tall in less than a week. They are pretty flowers but look very odd and out of place in my little bare spot.

Can anyone tell me what kind of flower this is and how long it will stay in bloom? Maybe I can dig up the bulbs and replant them in a more appropriate place.
