Wild Iris (Iris setosa)

These are also known as Blue Flag. When they are flowering they are beautiful. However they are a poisonous plant, causing vomiting. When they aren't flowering they can be confused with edible cattails, which also have the long, narrow leaves and grow in similar places such as bogs and shores of lakes and streams.
