I really like these flowers, but I do not know the name. They are native and bloom at the roadside. This photo I took from the back of my yard. I'm researching their names and as soon as I have an answer, I'll post the popular name and the scientific name.

Looks like Crocosmia to me,Aleyna,not sure of the variety,but it looks similar to 'Lucifer' ? I can't really be sure,but it does tend to flop over like yours,with the weight and height..I usually stake mine before they get tall..only because they cover other plants in front..I love these too :o)

Hello Bloomer, you are right, they replied my question . It is a Crocosmia crocosmiflora:)

We are able to grow Crocosmia outdoors in the Uk.

I got one right for once,Aleyna ! Lol..and as Siris has said,they are hardy in the UK..can be invasive,but they are easily thinned out,or transplanted....lovely in late summer/early Autumn here :o)

Yes Blooner, the botanist warned me to be careful because they are invasive and reproduce easily on fertile soil.
