Hi Marta, I just added mine and appropriated the ID off yours. Thanks to all.
The MnMs
Me neither..at first I even confused it with an orchid but immediately changed my mind because of the shape of the plant :-)

Very nice photos... I've never seen that kind of flower.
The MnMs
Many thanks for the ID Dan and auntnance :-)

I'm no expert, but it appears to be a yellow walking iris.
The MnMs
yes, but is just a wild guess :-) just because of the appearance..hopefully an expert on plants will see this spotting and help me ID it
The MnMs
I wonder because of the leaves of the plant, but I have no idea. I have to check.

I've got the same or similar one here but I've not ID'ed it. Is it in the iris family?
