freesia?

I would like to know if the plant is a freesia and what kind? Does anyone recognize it? If you need more detailed pictures to identify it, let me know. Thanks

 

i did some research and i dont think its a freesia.
it would be helpful if you took a close up picture showing the front of the flower. i think its some kind of lily but i cant be sure.

 

Looks more like Crocosmia. Used to be known as Montbretia

 

thanks for the replies- a search for crocosmia, common name montbretia, led to the discovery that the plant is
a cultivar: Jackanapes, see www.floridata.com/ref/C/croc_xcr.cfm -
the description and the listed pictures match with my plant. Thanks for your help.

 

Yep, Crocosmia. Note: can be invasive.

 

There are many different cultivars of Crocosmia, ranging from yellow, through orange to red. Unless you grow many different ones and get to know them, it is pretty well impossible to say from a picture which one you have. This nursery in Britain specialises in them see.....

Crocosmia Jackanapes, would appear to be a multi coloured one .

invasive yes, but I have always plants to give away as gifts or use them for trading now that I know what it is- this forum is just wonderful
