Discovery

As I was mowing my lawn today I came upon this flower on the edge of the lgarden! I had no idea it was there.
A lovely pop of colour and focus I looked it up it came up with Crocosmia x crocomiiflora curtesy of Wikipedia

How pretty. Is it a flower on a shrub of some kind? It looks tiny and you captured the colors and details of the petals of so well.

Beautifully composed! Great DoF! Are some of the buds curly? A very fascinating plant, for sure.

@Dawn @randystreat @randystreat @rensala @marilyn @ludwigsdiana @joansmor @wakelys @briaan @linnypinny @shutterbug49 @louannwarren @phil_howcroft @joemuli @luvmynynix Thank you all so much for you terrific comments and thanks Sue and Dawn for the ID. I think someone gave this to me and I had no idea what it was. The flowers are actually a dark orange and I didn't wait quite long enough for the camera to warm up so the humidity has made the photo less clear than I would have liked. I didn't look closely enough at the buds to tell for sure MArilyn but I can check it out and maybe get another shot of them for you. They are rather tiny Kathy and the leaves are a little like gladiola leaves. I really appreciate all the positive things each one of you said. Thanks again

@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL! Thanks. I have had it planted for years and I think this is the first time I have ever noticed it flowering so maybe it doesn’t do as well in my heat and humidity if I need to kill it I’ll ask you to come and help.

Looks like you are going to get plenty more of those lovely blooms

@kjarn it does doesn’t it? I hope they all come out at the same time and maybe I’ll get another photo of it.
