Leopard Lily???
 

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?

Yes, they do.
