OK, I know it's a crocosmia, but any idea beyond that ? Bought at a local market for £2.

Thanks.

Crocosmia...used to be known as Montbrettia.
Many named cultivars...hard to tell apart.
They can be red or orange or yellow.
Some can be very tall. eg Crocosmia lucifer.

Possibly Crocosmia Harlequin?

Thanks Silver surfer. Certainly looks like the Harlequin variety. It doesn't really matter, it was so pretty I couldn't resist it.
