Dear Karen ,
You could referring Iris lutescens (common here is the SW of Europe),
which is small and pale yellow (there is also a purple blue form) They
are evergreen and rhizomatic, but is easily confused with I suavolens
which is more common in your area which has also  yellow and  blue
forms. May be martin Weber can explain us how to tell them apart?
Kind regards
