Can anyone help me id this orphan i saved?

River Ridge, LA(Zone 9b)

When i moved into my apartment 3 years ago this lily was here, but planted in clay. It would send up foliage, but not bloom. This spring i dug it up, and did it every bloom... it's been blooming for three weeks now. There were numerous babies, so i have had many gorgous flowers from her. Any hoo, can anyone help me id this beauty? p.s the foliage is very long, and straplike.

That's gorgeous! Before I enlarged the pic I thought it was going to be a daylily with that foliage. If you don't get it ID'd here, why don't you try the bulb forum? I'd sure like to know what it is ~
