Beautiful photo Keely ❤❤

@pelly thank you 😊

🔥🔥🔥🔥

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks hun 😘

Close! 😆🤣

Wow, yours are well ahead of mine 😍

@jeatacake I've had these for as long as I can remember probably one of first flowers I was given from mums garden so the corns are quite well established think that helps 😆

I'm sure it will. Mine are also in semi shade, so that could do be delaying mine too 👍

Looking fabulous in hot border now

Really like these 2 colours together ❤️💛

@kathy they are looking good together just waiting for all the smaller montbretias to flower now to finish it off and add the next layer of the border they are nearly there now 😄 thank you hum

😊. Neil came home from shopping sporting a Phlox and 6 Salvia bedding plants 😂

Your crocosmia is way ahead of mine! Only just budding up!

Sadly, my seeds did not make it this time, will try again next spring. These look fabulous!

@kathy oh I need a man that does that save me carrying 3 bags of plants on 2 buses home nearly bought a gerbera but was too heavy with what I had already bought actually went to see if they had an Achillea in but didn't so 5 plants at under £10 seemed a bargain 👍😄

@lesliecole49 oh that's a shame as once you have got one of these you will always have them as the corns multiply yearly 😄

@rachelbrooks I've had these years Hun so big corns never fail me fabulous flowers 😍

I’ve had one of mine for years too...it’ll get there eventually I guess! 🙈

@gjones thank you they really do

#talltuesday these Lucifer's are perfect for back of a border 🏵🌺🏵

Looking stunning 👌❤

@jeatacake thanks Jeff one red plant I do allow in front pink n purple border its too lovely not to have it 😄

Absolutely. You can't be threatening to pull this one out! 😁

Good morning from a wet Leeds. The first of the Lucifer has shown its bloom today and looking a tad wet! If we step on our tiptoes we can nearly see the wknd 🙌 enjoy your day 😁😁😁

Fab shot!

Morning Keely , very fiery love it 👍👍

Good morning @Keely dry for the weekend hopefully for you, intense colour on these 👍

Another not far off a mass of these so will be lovely when open 👌

Yes can't wait for mine to open as well, won't be too long. Just hope the weather improves and doesn't destroy them @Keely 😍🌞

@bevkb they are pretty sturdy and have taken a battering so hopefully be ok, need sun for soil to warm up and flowers to smile 😁

Love these in Summer

They do stand out @Keely didn't realise this alternate name !

Mombresia and crocosmia are the same then @keely?

@SylviaDavies yes these are the lucifer red ones they're bigger than the crocosmia yellow or orange ones but same family 👍

Lush :)
