thank you Charlotte. I thought the foliage wasn't quite fine enough but I wasn't sure what it was called.

The little iris is one of only two crested iris native to North America

iris cristata (dwarf crested iris)

It grows in the woodland areas and does well in shade.
I have some in a large pot and it does well and multiplies in the pot better than ground soil
