Hi Debi, it could be Watsonia, by the look of it.

Hey Sue,

I am not sure if this is correct.

Having looked closely at the dead flower stalk, it looks like it has a stalk with a flower at the top.

The dead flower it's self, sitting ontop of the stalk has the grass look outer with very fine small flower stalks.

I have seen a Gladioli and this is completely different as in the look of the flower???
Will try to get a pic of just the flower (dead), it sits on a flower stalk, ok.

The dead flower looks a little like cyperus papyrus, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyperus_papyrus
but that leaf in the first pic doesn't look right. Does it belong to the same plant

Yes it does belong to the same plant.

I will take a picture of the bottom of it to show how they are.

Thanks for trying to help me, Guys.

Pic is not quiet in focus but you can get the idea of it.
