    The second is a beardless Iris, possibly I. brevicaulis.

    Not Dutch Iris. The Iris pictured in the linked page is also not a Dutch Iris. Dutch Iris leaves are U-shaped in cross-section ('channeled'). Rhizomatous Iris (including beardless Iris have leaves flattened from side to side ('equitant').
