This is a Neomarica northiana also known as walking iris or Apostle plant. It comes from the Iridaceae family. Last December I received a similar question from a gentleman named Brian. The plant hadn't bloomed, when he originally asked the question. After many back and forth conversations, he finally sent me a picture of the bloom. Although the bloom is short lived, it should continue to produce blooms throughout the summer season. The minute I saw this plant it brought back memories.
