Montbretia (Crocosmia) sometimes known as Portugese Lily. This plant has naturalised along roadsides and in waste areas in New Zealand and is considered a weed. Not a good idea to plant them in your garden, it spreads very rapidly :). .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. I hope you enjoy this pretty wildflower.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.

Lyn, beautiful contrast in this image. Due to the dark background and framing all the attention is caught by this orange montbretia. Perfectly done! Regards, Cornelius

The darkened framing sets off this vibrant flower so well. Good color choices and though you say it's a weed, it is very beautiful.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Even weed type of flowers/plants can look lovely in the hands of a clever photographer. That says it all.

You my Caedes friends post the most wonderful images out here. Full of beauty, life and gorgeous colors. For that, you have my heartfelt 'thanks'. I love 'browsing them' and wish there was more time to personally comment on every one of them.

Sensational angle on the play my dear!! Stunning, I'd say!! The colorations of you frame work though are kinda distracting, perhaps basic black. Rockin' flora though!!

This is a WEED? Wow. I'd love to have something that gorgeous growing all over the place. I'm really impressed with the whole upload, and I like the color of the frame..it sets this little beauty off perfectly.

Beautiful color and lovely complementary framing. It is hard to think of something this pretty as a "weed".
