Crocosmia 'Prince of Orange'

These stood up very well in the heat but the taller Lucifer ones got fried 🧡 #drought-tolerant #montbretia-prince-of-orange #crocosmia-prince-of-orange

I do love Crocosmia. Shame Lucifer couldn’t take the heat…bit ironic given its name! These orange ones are beautiful 🔥🔥

Me too Angela. I think Lucifer was only damaged because of its height. The sun got the tops of the flowers 😔 @italydiva

Yes, height is definitely an issue in weather like that 😥

Exactly the same here too Jane🧡

It was a shame because Lucifer was putting on a better show than last year. Isn't it always the way 🙄😢 @Auricula

I know I’d carefully moved mine and was pleased with the progress😕

So annoying 🥵 @Auricula

Still waiting for flowers on mine

They're late aren't they? 🤔 @hebelover

Mine did ok too..

Like everything here 😄 The Fuchsias are clearly waiting til Autumn 🍂

It’s montbretia time 🧡 #montbretia-prince-of-orange #crocosmia-prince-of-orange

That’s so pretty 🧡 mine are nowhere near ready to flower yet.

Thanks Sarah, they’ve come from nowhere very quickly 🧡 @sieveheadsarah

Good photo - I can’t photo anything blowing a hooley again💨

Lucky shot Elise, it’s blowing well here too 💨 @Auricula

Windy here too. I bought two pot of this reduced last year. They have surfaced but no flowers yet 🤞they look as good as yours Jane

I'm sure they will Joan 👍 @joanboston

Nothing here yet

Beautiful little blooms 🧡💛🧡

They’re about three weeks earlier than last year Jason 🧡 @hebelover

Simple but impactful Kerry 🧡 @kez001uk

I love the colour, I love to have a few orange splashes around the garden 🧡 @gjones

The crocosmia is starting to flower 🧡 #crocosmia-prince-of-orange #montbretia-prince-of-orange

No sign of mine yet but they have been moved a few times ☺️

They will be lurking somewhere, they're impossible to kill 😂 @Auricula

Morning Jane.. love them 🧡

Me too but it’s hard work keeping them in check 🙄😂 @juliesgarden

Definitely .. I’ve dug hundreds up here 😂

I know the feeling 😂 @juliesgarden

I’ve noticed mine coming through- where I want them and where I don’t want them!!

I know what you mean, I’m always pulling them up 😂 @sharonhayden

Morning everyone. This is another favourite of mine that opened whilst we were away 🧡 #crocosmia-prince-of-orange #montbretia-prince-of-orange

Morning ❤🧡💛 Fab colours

Morning Jane 🙋 there's vivid for you!

Morning Jane. Certainly brightens up the garden doesn't it. Hope you had a lovely holiday 👋😊🧡

Morning Jason, thanks 🧡 @hebelover

Absolutely Jeremy 🔥 @jpea

Thanks very much Gwen 😘 @gwenniemom

On of my favs

Morning everyone, have a super day. The crocosmia is is getting ready to pop 🧡 #crocosmia-prince-of-orange #montbretia-prince-of-orange

Morning Jane. Mine’s about at that stage - just had a wander round and everything seems to burgeoning into life😊

Morning Jane.. gardens are looking lush after all the rain 💚

Morning Elise. We might not like the weather but the garden certainly has 😍 @Auricula

Morning Julie, they are but a few dry days would be nice now 💚 @juliesgarden

Morning Jane. Oh must look to see if my Lucifer flowers spike are popping through👍

Morning Celina. My Lucifer is in bud too. I hope you find yours is ❤️ @cee

Morning Jane 👋 I think you’ve just answered an ID problem I was having in my front border. I don’t recall planting one there but then again, my memory isn’t so good I can be absolutely certain! 🥴😂

Afternoon Angela, I'm always doing that but you get some nice surprises that way 😍 @italydiva

Yep found some👍🎉

Brilliant 👍 @cee

Morning everyone, have a great day 🙋‍♀️ The montbretia is coming thick and fast now 🧡 #montbretia-prince-of-orange #crocosmia-prince-of-orange #orange

Morning Jane. A favourite of mine ....adds so much colour to the garden 👋🙂🧡

Morning Jane 👋🏼

Morning again Pauline, a favourite of mine too. I have it dotted all over 🧡 @flof1952

Morning Elaine 🙋‍♀️ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Morning Jane 🧡🙂👋

Morning, cheerful photo on this grey day.

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ I've not enough room for this now but might reconsider if it'll grow at the base of a beech hedge @pelly

Morning Joan, we need something 🌺 @joannie.a

It shouldn't be a problem Jeremy, as far as I'm aware it will grow anywhere. It brings a great splash of colour 👍 @jpea

Morning Jane 😊🙋🏻‍♀️ It’s a gorgeous one 🧡🧡

Sorry Jane, they don’t do anything for me. Been trying to take them out of the front garden for six years😂 but back they come. Wouldn’t do for us all to like the same thing would it? 😀

Thank goodness for #flashbackfriday have a fabby one #montbretia #montbretia-prince-of-orange #crocosmia-prince-of-orange 🧡🙋‍♀️

#autumn-colours

Last one before work, I've still got a few flowers, I want them all over the garden next year. 🌺🌺🌺

I'd love some of these in my garden!

Lovely colours I haven't seen that colour before,Carole,

They're gorgeous @davenhaze @Chester14 👍👍👍

Gawjus Jane I bought a couple of yellow ones for next year lovely flowers on all these 🌺🏵🌺🏵

Oooh lovely 😍 wish list

I love them Keely and want more next year, they just seem to go with everything @Keely 😍😍😍

Last man standing but #stillsummer

Morning all. After last night's rain I get up to blue skies which is a relief as we are helping my daughter and her partner move house over the next two days. Enjoy your day whatever you are doing. 👋👋👋

Morning Jane have a good weekend helping her move 🏠🏠

Thanks Keely @Keely 😊😊😊

Morning Gary, has it stopped raining yet? 😊😊😊

Morning Jane its the same here too ☀️ hope it keeps dry for you all and the move goes well 😀

Morning Jane ......such a bright and cheerful flower. Hope it stays dry for the move and all goes well :)

Morning Jan, thanks, I think it might be a long day!!! @janric 😁😁😁

Thanks Pauline, there's no rain forecast until this evening, so that's a bonus. @flof1952 👍👍👍

Oh a job we've done many times! Watch your back, don't be lifting too much, and make sure you've got a kettle!

Thanks Joan, and I'm just about to remind my daughter about the kettle. Great minds think alike. @joanboston 😁😁😁

Morning Jane. These are so lovely ❤💛🌺

👌📸👌

@hayleyaj here are 4 various photos of my Montbretia, I'm hoping these help. Julie @vec has one that looks the same and would also like to know. I've trawled the Internet but everything I've found has been inconclusive 😊😊😊

It looks a bit like #princeoforange Jane 😊

Thanks Hayley. Whatever it is it's beautiful 😍😍😍 @hayleyaj

I'm going for #prince of orange as I've just taken a new photo and will catalogue it under that 😂

That's what I've done Julie @vec 😍😍😍

Love the graceful way this holds itself, but does anyone know which one it is please #plantid

Beautiful Jane just love these but not sure of the type this is,I think there's one called prince that's more of an orange colour Hayley @hayleyaj might be able to help you 😘👍

@pelly is it Lucifer?

No Lottie, that's a red one, but thanks anyway @Lottie__O 😊😊😊

I wondered if it might be Meteor Jane @daisy-jane @hayleyaj 😮😮😮

Thanks John @ukjohnny 😊😊😊

I thought that as i have a few different ones, but reading the description of Lucifer on here says it has Orange/yellow in the flowers

I'll have another look Lottie, thank you @Lottie__O 😊😊😊

Lucifer is the big red one. Hard to tell which this is Jane as it's a close up of the flower so hard to see the size of the flower. Maybe take a close up when fully open and one a little further back 😊

That's what I thought Hayley. I'll do some more photos tomorrow. Thank you @hayleyaj 😊😊😊

The mystery continues Jane. I'm hoping someone can name it 😂

Me too Julie @vec 😊😊😊

Morning all, have a great day. These little flowers are so sweet aren't they 🙋🙋🙋

Mornin/evening Jane. They are quite lovely. 😍😍

Evening Dar, enjoy what's left of your day @SikoMa 😊😊😊

Morning Jane have a good day 😃

Morning Keely, you too @Keely 😊😊😊

Morning jane that's very pretty..sun is out here very early this morning. 😎 think it's a day to sit in garden and direct hubby to do all jobs I can't at the moment 😉 enjoy ur weekend 😉 @pelly

You too Jo. Have a great time giving orders 😂😂😂 @hobnob

Morning Jane, looks like it's going to be lovely again 🤞

Morning Jane ......stunning colour too. Have a lovely day :)

Good morning Jane 🙋🏻🐶

I split and moved this earlier in the year and this is the only clump flowering at the moment. 😊😊😊

At least you have one! 👍🏼👏🏼 divided mine last year, no sign of any flowers! Although...I think mine flowered later last year...🤔

Morning Jane @pelly I moved mine last year and it didn't flower but this year just have a couple of flower spikes on it better than nothing though. Hope you have a Fab day Jane 😘

I moved my one early this year and split it into four. Two have flower spikes and two don't yet. @rachelbrooks I don't remember when mine flowered last year. 😊😊😊

Morning Suzie, you too ⬆⬆⬆ 😊😊😊
