        it`s a dutch iris , keep them in the garden as cutting flower will only last 2 days ,
        they are almost like tulip , a single bulb with a single flower , the plant will die back and reshoot in spring.

          Dutch iris are often sold as cutting flower in bouquet .

          what I`m saying is just enjoy them in the garden, don`t cut them ,will last longer in the garden , enjoy the flower and let it wither , it will come back next year ....
          plant some more bulbs in autumn if you like them , there are lots of color available and they are really cheap to ......your local wilkinson will start to sell from the end of August ; )
