Crocosmia, Ferns, Tiger Lily

This first lovely red flower residing in our driveway was wonderfully identified for me by friends on Facebook as CROCOSMIA MASONIORUM. Ha! Interesting name. If you want to know how to pronounce that and other flower names, just hop over to Fine Gardening and they'll tell you. Hat tip to Oregon Coast Gardening, who were excited before I was about pronouncing "Crocosmia."

We have a lot of flourishing ferns on the shady side of our house.

And the tiger lilies are in full bloom at various spots in front and back.
