I’m taking my new camera for a walk tomorrow (if the rain lets up), I’ll be pleased if I get pictures half as nice as these 🙂

Hi Rachel, hope you had a great time photographing!

If you live in the South West you can see whole banks of them growing naturalised in the hedgerows as they are excellent spreaders. Other crocosmia which range from yellow to red aren’t quite so vigourous apart from the tomato red mansorium which has 5ft high flower spikes. These all grow in my garden because of their slug resistance and the fact that they are so easy. My gardening tome says they originate in South Africa. Just thought you’d like to know.
