Re:can anyone tell me what this is please - 2009/01/14 04:05
Hi  and welcome.
The family Iridaceae (Iris) contains a very large number of species,
and to be honest this photo does not show the flower in question to it's best advantage.
 I'm not complaining, just saying that the pic is a bit fuzzy
and the flower appears to be sort of curled up, not fully opened.
Okay, with that said, I will go ahead and take a guess, 
there are other possibilities,
but I think it could well be Dietes iridiodes -
which has several "common" names,
including "African Iris", "Butterfly Iris"
and "Fortnight Lily" (even though it is definitely not a lily).
For more information, have a look here:

Hope that helps.
