Sylvia,
     This is Neomarica gracilis.  The blooms are a purple/white bicolor, and 
are fragrant.  This is a member of the Iris Family.
     It is a very easy to grow as a potted plant.  Keep it outside in a 
mostly shaded place during the summer, and keep it inside in a bright sunny 
room in the winter.  Do not let the potted plants get frozen.
     I live in Florida, and have a couple plants of this species in the 
ground, but they were severely damaged by temperatures as low as 12 F  [-12 
C] this past winter.  Two large plants that I have in pots, and moved inside 
on our 46 freeze nights this past winter, are doing fine and now have buds.
