    It's pretty, Ron, hope you can ID it. It looks a little like my walking iris in shape. That sunny yellow is wonderful!

    beautiful ron! I don't think it is an orchid. I think it is in the family of irises (Iridaceae) though and are related to orchids

    Like your idea, Ron! Wonder what our iris kids would look like? My walking iris blooms on the hangy downy stems; yours looks like it blooms on upright stems. What and interesting couple they would make. Upright hangy downy blooms? Tiger stripe purple and gold?
