Those are very nice, Barb. Crocosmia come in mostly your orange-y red. But they can be found in a true red and a yellow too. I am not aware of any other colors or bloom types.

I'm soooooooooo envious! I tried growing it a few times - it's supposed to be a favorite of hummingbirds! But they do not like to grow here unfortunately.

Dodge - have you seen hummers at yours?

I've only heard of them in orange, red and orange.

BUT if you want something that looks similar in other colours, you can try freesias. They're not hardy, but the fragrance itself is worth planting for!
