unidentified orchid ground orchid id help plz

[Dazed]

I got this from a friend about a month ago, he said it was a ground orchid but that's all the info he knew. Has anyone here seen or has this one? I am a bit sceptical that it is an orchid but I'm hoping cause I like the ground chids that I have so far.

First bloom since I got it,

...and it came with several kekis. Circled below is where they came from, the little grassy bits in the pot are the babies.

Hard to see but it does not seem to have a column with an anther cap covering the polina. It does not have a lip, if it is not a peloric varite.

I would say that it is not an orchid.

Do you have a closeup on the flower from the side?

Looks like an African Iris. If it is a ground orchid it is severly peloric.

I would agree with Cjcorner, I've had iris that grow that way, although the flower was somewhat different.

Will have to get a side pic tomorrow, we're in for a bit of wet weather so it was overcast today, the pics didn't come out so great. I figured that it wasn't quite right but it's nice all the same. Thanks for the responses everyone.

I also have this plant and was wondering what it was myself . I have a closer pic , it's not a side view however .
If it's an African iris that's cool too , can't all be orchids can they .

They are really nice plants and are apparently easy to grow into nice impressive clumps!
