Found in the hedgerow it must be from the nearby kennels there is plenty around there.
Montbretia - Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora
This is a little bit of a rarity these days, it seems to be losing the battle with the local fishermen - they clear patches of reeds to fish and this suffers.

Hoo boy... that Lithrum is a REAL baddie over here. I know it has all the natural checks and balances where you are, but I'm so trained to think bad thoughts that I am working hard to restrain myself from gnashing my teeth at the site of it! Do you know how much of that stuff I've pulled, hacked, shoveled, (and needed dynamite for)?
