looks like some kind of squill. can be invasive.
It’s a grape hyacinth, probably the lighter colored kind like Muscari azureum (azure grape hyacinth) or a pale cultivar of the common ones. Those little bell shaped flowers clustered like upside down grapes, the narrow fleshy leaves shooting up first, and it coming back year after year from bulbs underground? Classic fucking grape hyacinth behavior. They love that woodland edge, leaf litter vibe in spring and naturalize like crazy without you doing shit. 
Not the bright cobalt ones everyone plants yours are that softer, almost white blue with the striped bells. Grows in the same spot forever because the bulbs just sit there chilling and multiplying. Common as hell in the Midwest, including your Iowa ass.
If it was star shaped and single on short stems, I’d say Siberian squill, but nah, these are the droopy grape clusters on stalks. Nice little perennial that doesn’t give a fuck about your neglect.
There, now you know what the fuck it is. Go touch some grass or whatever.
It’s called puschkinia. Yes, it is a squill. I have some and it comes back every year. It does multiply, but it’s easily contained or plucked where you don’t want it.
