I came upon this bush today...with lily-like long slender leaves, and these gorgeous blue/purple orchid-like blooms!!! Anyone know what it is??? WOW!

UPDATE: My blogger pal, Aerelonian has found it...called Neomarica northiana, or Walking Iris, which is a tropical variety!!! How cool is this? Perfect for south Florida! Thanks everyone for your inputs into what this gorgeous plant is!!!

Isn't that an Iris?
I think it's an iris.
Iris?
Iris????
Wonderful!
Have a nice day!
Might be a Walking Iris...I have them.
I just posted about a similar plant a few weeks ago. It may be a Neomarica northiana. Most seem to have the 'plain' petals white though. Closest I've seen. Hope this helps!
An Iris of some sort would be my guess.
Aerelonian- I believe you have found it!!! A tropical Iris called Walking Iris! WOW...how cool is this????? Thankyou!!!
Yeah, I IDed it!! :) That is an awful sentence but identified just seemed too formal...
Good thing Aerelonian nailed down the ID because I was wondering if it was one of the African ones.
Tis a beauty.
