>>Not a very good picture. I found this in a ditch at a ladys house and ask 
if I could get a start of it. It is more of a maroon color at first glance.

You don't say where you're located but this looks like a Louisiana iris of 
some type. The scapes of I. brevicaulis (just one of the species) typically 
zig-zag back and forth sharply. This species runs more to the blue-violet 
colors so it's probably a hybrid.

Should be easy to grow in average garden soil as well as marshy areas. Just 
be sure to give it plenty of room.
