Montbretia or Crocosima.

Montbretia or Crocosima.
Beautiful plant but an invasive pest as it stifles native flora.
Near St Agnes Head. On the site of Camp Cameron, where black US service personnel were placed during World War II, presumably so as not to frighten the natives in the more populous parts of the country. Boxer Joe Louis was stationed here and described it as the most boring two years of his life!
For Pam.
