I rarely come into this section because I don't know anything about it, but I sure have enjoyed myself this morning. What a beautiful flower!

Yellow is the usual color for water iris. AKA yellow flag or water flag. That cream color is unusual for an iris, and it doesn't seem to have the typical iris petal structure. Still, I wouldn't mind having that next to my pond!

I know it is in the iris family but i also know it is not a flag iris as i have both the yellow and the blue/purple. i will see if i can find it and let you know stereoman.

It sorta looks like the Japaneese Fortune Iris. It could be in the same group.I checked and its not a Siberian Iris or Bearded Iris. I sorta looks like a orchid to me but i couldnt find a exact match.
