I'm not sure of the name of these, they grow like weeds in our area. My
mother always called them Leopard Lilies, but I think they are an iris.

Belamcanda - But I recently read an article that said it should be
reclassified as an Iris
It is also known as blackberry lily


I have Belamcanda chinensis and mine are orange with red spots. Easily
raised from seed.
When the flowers die do they curl round tightly as the seed pod forms?
