I had looked up African Iris and the genus Moraea was the only thing that came up - that's why I asked. I know nothing about Moraea, Dietes, or anything else it might be.

Dietes came up with the names:
BUTTERFLY FLAG, YELLOW WILD IRIS, PEACOCK FLOWER, UINTJIE, POUBLOM, WEDDING FLOWER, WEDDING IRIS

Various Moraea use the names:
PEACOCK LILY, AFRICAN IRIS, BUTTERFLY IRIS, GROOTFLAPPIE, BRUINUINTJIE

Both in Iris family, must have similaritiesI would guess.
