I believe it is a bearded iris.

I'm guessing one of the beardless. You are going to post the open bloom, no?

The mystery Iris bloomed today. It is more purple than the photo shows. Ann

Ah haaa. A siberian it is.

Some iris flowers do resemble one another. A reticiulata wouldn't be this tall or have the distinctive fall 'spray' pattern.
