It looks like one of the large flowered crocosmias. Emily McKenzie
perhaps?

(And can I have a pot too if I'm right? :-)

That was my first impression, but the leaves are growing from the flower
stems, not from the base of the plant, and they are slightly blueish in
colour. They are held up flat, a bit like an iris. The flowers twirl up in
a spiral when they are finished, like a morning glory.

Any more ideas?
