and we're having a Summer to appreciate it!!! As my Husband leaves for work at 5.45am I have grown used to seeing my flowers at or around sunrise.Just as the sun rises, a shaft of light makes it through next door's tree and spotlights the Crocosmia Lucifer...and they really zing Crocosmia Lucifer at dawn ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) Crocosmia Lucifer at dawn ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) More Crocosmias at Dawn ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) More Crocosmias at Dawn ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) New for this year,and now I know they seem to like it,there will be more next year,are Helenium Moerheim beauty.

Nice photos Karen. Don't the colors just look so bright first thing in the morning? I have some orange crocosmia in the front of the house (where my mom planted them). I like them there, but they tend to be invasive, so I haven't put any in my gardens.
Thank you Cheryl,they sure do shine out,but what makes these special is, that despite Mark being red/green colourblind he can actually appreciate them in all their glory. The crocosmia in the pictures are stealthily moving along the border,while I have some others in pots to keep them under control
