Is this an orchid?

I was directed to this forum from the indoor plants forum, where I posted a request for an indentification of this plant:

Does the "bud" that's coming from the central part of one of the longer leaves indicate that this is some kind of orchid?

 

Try www.gardenweb.com/forums/orchids and post to that gallery (leaving a note on the orchid forum asking for ID).

 

Iris family plant (Iridaceae), along the lines of, say, Neomarica or Dietes--something in that neighborhood.

 

I'd agree with Ron B -the Dietes are sometimes annoyingly refered to as Orchid Iris.
