Thank you for the
Crocosmia is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae), native to South Africa. They’re known for their striking, arching sprays of bright funnel-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, and yellow that bloom in mid-to-late summer.
Here are some key points:
🌱 Growth habit: Herbaceous perennials with sword-like, pleated green leaves. They grow from underground corms (like gladiolus).
🌸 Flowers: Appear in succession along arching stems, making them especially graceful in garden borders. Popular varieties include Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ (fiery red), Crocosmia ‘Emily McKenzie’ (orange with red centers), and Crocosmia ‘George Davison’ (golden yellow).
🌍 Uses: Ornamental in gardens for color and pollinator attraction (especially hummingbirds and butterflies).
☀️ Care: Thrive in full sun with well-drained soil; moderately drought-tolerant once established. Hardy in USDA zones 5–9, though in colder areas they may need mulching or lifting/storing corms over winter.
🌿 Spreading: Can naturalize and spread by corm offsets; in some regions, they can become invasive if not managed.
Would you like me to create a care and propagation guide (step-by-step) for crocosmia, or more of a landscape design guide showing how to use them effectively with other plants?

I started this "Group" while serving the community as a Fire Fighter/Medic last July 2022. It was intended to network all of us who have ever enjoined or taken part in this community at any time in our lives or those who hope to go in the future. It is still a magical place. I have started "Pay It Forward" effort for Coffee and other things people might forget to bring out there while enjoining the area. Please join and share your gifts and experience.

We have finally cleaned out our closets and have both men's and women's clothing available for a clothing swap or someone who wants to go through a bunch of clothes.
The women's is primarily XL (about 90%) with some large and 2XL.
Shirts, pants and dresses. May be able to talk her out of some shoes.
The men's clothing spans a couple decades and is from size large to 2XL some dress mostly casual pants included.
Looking for help with my yard. If you don't have one and want a place to play, I have lots of need and little help.
I would like to co create community space and Natural Spiritual connection around my home.
