from Private contains these words:

It's the wife, thanks for your help but I don't recognise any of the
pictures. I will keep looking.I can't remember when I saw it in flower.

The original description said "tiny flowers". Tiny is a moveable feast,
but I thought that even Crocosmia was pushing it - but nothing else
fitting the description came to mind. (The flowers of Dierama not being
borne "just above the leaves", and its flowers being rather purplish.)

If there was a red-flowered Dianella that would fit, but as far as I
know there isn't.
