marcy_1 - those spikey leaves are all the same purple bearded iris. I really like the foliage on this plant, it is planted in every garden bed we have. The color and shape really set off other plants well, and it's also extremely prolific and reblooming. If it only had fragrance it would be perfect, but oh well, can't have everything.

Here's another photo of it. Don't know the variety, it was given to us as a freebie.
