Re Spec. 1 question

Please help with the following description.   The little lady said it came
from the farm.  Possibly it is a species.   I color charted the bloom to
RHS 89 C.  The bloom came right from inside the foliage.  This  is the
first year for mine to bloom.   The foliage is strappy.  It blooms just
about 7 inches off the ground.   The rhizome   is similar to LA.  The bloom
has thin floppy standards one-half  inch across at the widest point and are
about 2 inches from tip to center of bloom.   Their color is the same as
RHS 89C with a tiny white center stripe, two-thirds  long as  standard. 
The falls  are about two and three-fourths  inches long and one and
one-fourth  inch wide with tear drop shape.   The signal is quite
pronounced with white back ground and light RHS 89C veining.  A yellow 
highlighter looking mark  runs out of the center of the signal  area.  The
stigma  is tipped RHS 89C.   It is a beautiful little bloom  and seems
tempermental  in establishing as I  have had it about 4 years.   I am USDA
zone 7 and  have it blooming now.  Hope all have a good time in Dearborn as
I had planned to be there,  but my fall and broken wrists have made a lot
of changes in my life this spring.  The casts are off and I am able to do
light weight tasks.   No  mulch or manure hauling.   But lots to be
thankful for.
