I would rather think Crocosmia

Is this the same thing we used to call Montbretia?

Yes. The modern hybrids seem to be taller.

Oh? I have always had 'montbretia' in my garden because it reminds me of my
beloved uncle and aunt

Perhaps when I have my next garden, I will have to get one of the new ones.
Is the difference just in the height?

There's a tremendous colour range in Crocosmias so it's worth Googling
around a bit to see which colours you like best. This person is
obviously a great lover of the plant!
