 Crested dwarf iris is a common woodland flower in the eastern United States, from Maryland to Georgia on the east coast extending west to Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missisippi.

It grows primarily on upland wooded hillsides, usually in clusters.

The pictures on this page were taken in mid-April in Western North Carolina, off the Blue Ridge Parkway (top picture) and in the Nantahala National Forest (picture below).

My flora lists the blooming period as April-May. Wikipedia transposes the first parts of the name and instead of "Crested Dwarf Iris" calls it "Dwarf Crested Iris." I don't know which form of the name is more common.
