I have just moved back to California after living in two years in Georgia. When I came home I saw that my flower bed has been taken over by two plants. Purple Irises and another type of perennial and helped by some daffodils and the usual assortment of weeds .

Upon further reflexion, I realized that photos might help. I would like to have some help identifying the big leafy one. I have included a cheap pen for reference
The first image is of the flower bed in general. I began pulling up the weeds and the rocks
This one is of the Irises, there are more to the left and to the right of this lovely speciman.
Finally,. this is the plant that I would like help identifying. It is a perennial, and it is green. That is all that I know without pulling it out and the such.

Re: It appears that my irises are invading my daffodils
I don't know about tulips they can only be forced here, but irises are easy to transplant so you can definitely pot them up.
The bigger plant looks like something in the ginger family, maybe a canna. I cannot really tell until it flowers, but it does have that kind of leaves.
