Unknown Flower

Any idea as to what plant produced this flower? Looks to me like a lily of some sort, but it's an indoor house plant. A friend's Dad left it to her and she'd like to make out a tag for it. Thanks much! Tom

It’s an irid of some sort. Maybe a tigridia species.

Neomarica gracilis or similar species. Also called Walking Iris as a common name.

Yep, it's an iris and at first I thought Japanese
Iris, but no not quite right. I've never seen
a walking iris before. It is certainly distinctive

some sort of Iris

 

[Ray]

Neomarica gracilis or northiana.

I have a large one, plus an offshoot that rooted itself in the ground last year and survived the winter, plus a Neomarica caerulea (image is from the Pacific Bulb Society website).

Wow! Beautiful plant, Ray. Thank you, and everyone for the information.

FWIW, the white one is often called an "Apostle Plant" as a growth is not supposed to bloom until it has 12 leaves. It's untrue.

Maybe because it's a Judas plant?
