I was surprised when I wondered my backyard to see that the "grass" like plant was blooming. At first I thought it was just ornamental grass the former owners had planted. I took a picture and showed my mother-in-law, she told me it was called "Devil's tongue" but a google search pulled up a completely different plant. Anyone know what this plant is?
Crocosmia. Barbara they come in many colours, some are short, others very tall. Very difficult to id further. Leaves are also varied eg a deep red, very tall one called Crocosmia Lucifer has very broad leaves. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14419906@N00/3799543093 This nursery in Britain has pics of 114 different ones that they sell. http://www.trecanna.com/search.asp?menuoption=crocos
OMG SS I never realized there were so many. I recognize 'Lucifer', orange ones and yellow ones, and that's about it. Someone told me they saw a deep red or burgundy crocosmia. Have you? barb
