Yellow Walking Iris or something else ?

The description you give sounds like Treminzia Martenensis ( probably not the correct spelling!) It is also known as the Yellow Walking Iris and does exactly as you wrote. Makes stalks and continues to bloom on the same stalk for weeks on end until the bloom stalk has so many little plantlet growing up to the top of the stalk that it will eventually will lean over, touch the ground and start rooting, thereby giving it the walking iris name.
 I usually cut the stalk off where it emerges from the plant, shorten the ends of each stem and plant them in gallon nursery pots and by the next year, you have a BUNCH of yellow walking iris!

>I have a plant that flowers, and looks, like a yellow walking iris, and has multiple pups on each flowering stalk, in succession to one another. Does this sound like the real thing to you, or is there a look-alike that does the same? The flowers are quite small, about an inch or a bit smaller even. Each flower stalk has probably 3-5 pups along it, not just at the top. The flower stalks are thin, and tubular (not flat) (Not hollow)
