When you're in a place that's not native to you, the flora and fauna are often unfamiliar. And sometimes you know the plant, but when it grows in a much more favorable location for it than you're used to seeing, you may not recognize it. This one, seen in a hell strip kind of garden on a street in Mindo, Ecuador, looks vaguely familiar, but I can't identify it. My best guess is a yellow walking iris (Trimezia martinicensis, formerly Neomarica longifolia). Can I get an amen on that from someone who knows?

You are correct on this flower as it is indeed a Yellow Walking Iris Baby
Thank you for the confirmation, Colleen! I had another reader say on Pinterest that it was Dietes bicolor but I don't think so.
A Google search yielded this, which pretty much seals the deal, same location and everything!
