It's a new-to-me garden so I don't know many of the plants. The person I inherited it from had quite different taste to me but it's good fun learning to love plants I wouldn't typically choose. porkpal said:Okgardens, your garden seems to be full of surprises - what fun! Wish I could help. |

| I would also suggest crocosmia, or other member of iridaceae with corms |

| Crocosmia would be my thought.

| It looks like Crocosmias (Crocosmia) to me also but you will know for certain when it blooms. The Chinese Ground Orchid (Bletilla striata) has broader leaves: ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
