Unknown orchid From Dayton by Judy Lehmberg anyone identify?

My wife found these in a neighbors yard. The owner said she did not know the origin, but were there when they built the house in the 1970's. Any guesses? One-inch long blooms.

It is bletilla, a non native orchid that is sold commercially.
