Dietes iridioides
Spotted these in front of a house in Point Richmond, CA.
Urban front yard landscaping.
Thanks for the comment Alice. It is Wild Iris (Dietes iridioides) aka African iris and is the ornamental version of Dietes grandiflora (Large Wild Iris). I've updated all of the reference links.
Called an African Lily.
