A friend of mine gave me this plant 2 year ago. He asked me to rescue this plant when he prepared a plant for a construction contract. Last weekend, I found it bloomed the first time. We don't know its' name. If you recognize it, please tell me. I am appreciated for it.
It's good to see it grows well and reminds me to keep our friendship getting closer.
Thanks for your help.

It's gorgeous, but I have no idea.
I found it:
Dietes is a genus of rhizomatous plants of the family Iridaceae. Common names include Fortnight lily, African iris, Morea or Moraea iris, Japanese iris and Butterfly iris, each of which may be used differently in different regions for one or more of the four species within the genus.
Most species are native to southern Africa, with one (Dietes robinsoniana) native to Lord Howe Island off the coast of Australia.

Thank you. I think it looks something like an iris and a lily. I'm glad you found it. It would never grow in PA unfortunately.

It's a type of lily, but I can't remember the name. We've got some growing in our front yard. Sorry I can't be more help.

Iris - of course! They're in bloom here right now and seem to have a fairly long season but aren't as "showy" as some of the others.

I have these in my yard in Florida and have always known them as African Lily's. Here is a link to one I posted a while back: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-64896-1.html
