One thing is still missing from the Neomarica page.

There is no mention of the fragrance of the flowers of some
Neomarica. The
one grown as an old-fashioned houseplant under the names Apostle
plant or
walking iris (is this N. gracilis?) is known for having a strong
lily-of-the-valley fragrance.

I would change the wiki myself, but I'm not sure about the identity
of the
plant in question, nor do I know if it is the only fragrant species.

Perhaps someone who actually grows these plants can fill in the
blanks.

already over six feet high and show no sign of bloom yet!
