One of the interesting range of plants that Louise grows in her garden is montbretia.
Montbretia is more correctly known as Crocosmia, and is extremely showy and exotic-looking. They grow erect sword-shaped leaves and brilliant wands of fiery scarlet, red, orange, and yellow tubular flowers which bloom between mid summer and early autumn.
Montbretia bring back memories of the Isle of Man. At the north end of the promenade in Douglas, the capital city, are banks of these growing wild and giving an attractive splash of colour.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It was nice to take advantage of the various flowers in Louises garden for taking photos.
