I would pot that up and enjoy the flowers, then allow the greenery to die down naturally to feed the bulb for next year. The bigger the bulb the better the flower the following year.

Thanks @Dove@Dovefromabove the flowers are spent now, (this pic was from a couple of weeks ago) so wrestled with the roots from the Acer and they're in pots!
I think the size of them threw me because I had read that the Dutch Iris grew to about 2ft & mine are easily twice that?
The sizes of plants can vary enormously depending on the site etc, and yours may have been trying to get more light, but the one thing I'd add is that those Dutch Irises can be very short lived. They aren't like the other perennial types.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
