beside creek but well above normal water levels. Single clump of plant(s). Looked as if could be a white form of yellow flag

Tbh might be best left as sp. here, this is some sort of cultivar I believe

agree. creek is downstream from township plus town stormwater flows into it, so could easily be a cultivar washed down in a flood.
