Interesting...I've not bothered to wire basket crocosmias since they never seemed to bother all the chasmanthes...and the ones I see existing here in my yard and all over town don't seem to be eaten, judging by the huge numbers of them...and the gophers are very active in my yard. I'm wondering if they only eat certain ones...and thinking that I have some yellow ones that need to go into the ground and looks like I should wire them....
