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.
