Late blooming flowers

I have no idea what kind of flowers these are. I'm guessing irises, but I'm not a horticulturalist. I had to get up early to run by the bank to get money for laundry, and I saw these flowers on the way back. These are blooming awful late, especially give Chicago weather (freezing at night recently). Anyways, I thought they were pretty cool, especially since they seem to the kinds of flowers that orient themselves toward the sunlight.
