Montbretia (crocosmia) is classified as a weed in New Zealand and grows prolifically on roadsides, and beside streams etc. It grows from corms and was a popular garden plant before it 'escaped' and ran wild.
It is a hybrid of C. aurea and C. pottsii two plants of the genus Crocosmia and was first bred by Victor Lemoine in 1880, for anyone interested in its history :)
Happy Friday everyone :)

A weed can be a beautiful flower, it's all in how a person looks at it. Nice work.
