The blue looks like a species iris. I think you referred to it as blue flag? An awful lot of different iris are grouped under that name, but regardless of that as a species you will want to give it some extra water and, unless it has a very bearded iris type rhizome, you will want to put mulch over it to help retain moisture and prevent rhizome burn. Your picture makes me think it is the type that needs mulch.
