Doing well this year......


Doing well this year...... (Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora (Montbretia))

The yellow is George Davidson......not sure about the large orange one though.....the flowers are larger than Lucifer!!
I do believe it is Red King..... really much more orange in real life.....my tablet is not brilliant for taking photographs!

Olive we don't have those varieties in the garden!! but will have a look........ they could have been in with the other corms, the only other reason for the flowers being so large could be getting feed from the roses!! OH is convinced it is Emily McKenzie!! which we do have but never as large as that!!
They are good in a vase Sandra......

Not Emily McKenzie, looking closely at your photo, the stamens are yellow, not orange as the petals.
