Yes, Ray started them off in the prop. house to bulk them up and now is
going to plant some in the garden. They're very pretty and delicate and
were new to both of us. And thanks for the reminder!

Yes, they are very pretty and what I call a "classy" plant, always delicate,
both in flower and form.
Shame the flowers are so short lived but they do open in succession so the
whole thing lasts a couple of weeks.

I'll have to ask Ray to give you a Crocosmia 'Krakatoa' which is the new one
he's bred. It's a lovely clear colour and starts flowering just as C.
'Lucifer' is finishing, which is a bonus. The flowers are quite large and
eye-catching and I think you'd like it.
