The walking iris is Neomarica gracilis.  There are several other species of
Neomarica in cultivation as well.  This is a tropical species that probably
could not be grown outdoors where there is any frost.  It does make a very
nice houseplant and flowers well, generally in late winter.  The flowers
are iris-like, mostly white, but with some blue and bright brown markings.

Best wishes, Bill
