Crocosmia is Blooming Now
Very few people grow this beautiful little bulb and I can't imagine why not. It's mid-June and the heat it on and here they come to grace the garden with the sweetest flowers.
They are related to gladiolas and resemble their structure. I use them in bouquets in the house and they last a week.

I've found that the ideal blooming clump is no more than a dozen or so bulbs.
If you are ready for something delicate and cheerful, add a few bulbs to a mostly sunny spot.
Diseases and insects leave them alone completely in our garden.
