Crocosmia

I finally found out what those blasted red/orange flowers were!

Remember these:

 

Well, it turns out they are crocosmia. Which variety, I’m not sure. But finally I know what they are! I can’t describe how much relief I get from having finally solved this puzzle…

I am thinking about putting a few of these in the garden, just for nostalgia’s sake.

So… these aren’t what I thought they were

Anyone know what this is?

All I know is that it grows from a very hairy bulb, and the  leaves are rather sturdy. Also, the flowers blossom at the bottom first, and then then gradually blossom up the stem. The bottom flowers have often fallen before the top ones even blossom. There are two rows of flowers on the stem, on either side of the stem.

Please help me figure out what these are. It’s driving me INSANE!
