Without the Rain

A lily does not blossom
without the rain.
...Author Unknown

These are called by many names but I have always known them as fortnight lilies. They get this name from its recurring two week flowering cycle during spring and into summer.

They are also called Dietes iridioides, African Iris, morea iris as well as fortnight lily.
