Plant i.d.s needed: Sacramento
I was in Sacramento over the weekend and saw two plants in street plantings throughout the old part of the city. I'm hoping someone here can help me identify them.
The first looked very much like a Japanese Iris, although it grew in clumps, rather than individually. The blossom was pure white, with a yellow streak in the throat, and a smaller purple streak on the top of the cup. The foliage was long slender blades.
The second had similar foliage, but the white blossom was flat, with three almost round petals.
Both were quite tall -- 30" or higher.
Anyone have any idea what they could be?

Fortnight lily?
Used a lot in commercial plantings because it requires zero maintenance. Some gardeners shun them because they are so "common" (one nursery worker said her husband planted a bunch and turned their yard "into a Macy's parking lot"). I have a couple by my front door, which gets punishing sun, and I've never lifted the first finger to care for them in 4 years.
You're welcome. Too bad they won't work for you. Maybe daylilies could substitute for you? They're super easy, with a similar kind of look. Sort of.
You might try some native iris. Douglas' Iris might fit that look, and it's native in central California.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
