Photo of wild iris - what type?

That is a Louisiana iris (LA).

They have long rhizomes that are segmented - like a looooong brown caterpillar.

It may be the LA 'Dorothea K Williamson' by Williamson in 1918. Here's the link to it in the plant files:

Here it one from my garden: Ann Chowning (LA) another beauty - the picture does not catch the play of colors in the petals.
