There are several species of wild iris that grow in the Sierra Nevada, this is probably either Western Blue Flag (
Iris missouriensis) (most likely), maybe Hartweg's Iris (
Iris hartwegii) (less likely) or even possibly
Iris versicolor, but my money would be on
Iris missouriensis. All require lots of water to bloom.
