Can anybody tell me what plant this is. It came up in our garden last year. The blooms only last a day .....

That's a Tigridia. Bee-yew-tiful.
Should be a bit more specific, Tigridia Pavonia, grows from a bulb, loves the sun. Each flower lasts one day, as you have noted, but another bud is just behind that flower, on the same stem, so don't cut it off. I used to grow them from seed, in a warmer climate! Haven't tried it here yet.
