Crocosmia hiding behind the fence

I like the beautiful crocosmia flower for both it's bright red flowers, and the brilliant green long spiky leaves.  So I was glad when we got a couple for the garden.  We planted it against the fence, where we thought it would show up well - but the plants beside it exploded in growth and have rather overwhelmed it.  The result was that most of the red blooms showed up through the fence on the backside of the garden!







 We've also got one orange version of this plant, with these two flowers in bloom right beside each other.

  6. Thanks for visiting - I was just so struck by the sight of those bright red flowers poling out the back of the fence. Some of the memorable summer photos this year.
