I took this photo at Easter time, at my sister-in-law's place. One of her daughters brought the bulbs home from a school fair, but none of us know what it is.

They look like Crocosmia (formerly Montbretia) to me. Latin: Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora. I think you might have the 'Emily McKenzie' cultivar, but I'm not positive.

Helping the world one seed at a time

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

Thanks, Kenny. I've just googled those names. I think you may be right, but maybe it's a different cultivar, as the Emily McKenzie cultivar seems to have more red, whereas there is a lot of yellow in these.
