I found this in our local nature reserve. (See also PiP). The kind description of it would be as a "garden escapee", but I really didn't have an ID for the plant itself and had asked for assistance. With the ID provided below by Amelia Heath I am now confident that this is a Crocosmia species, also known as Montbretia.

SMALL-IMGP1287-1

As an aside, does anyone else find that the red tones of their images seem to be boosted when posted here?

I don’t know what it is, George. Looks like some sort of idea, but I could be mistaken.
See you Saturday.

It looks like Crocosmia to me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocosmia. It probably is a garden escapee. It grows from a corm and is very common in gardens - often needing to be dug up as it becomes a bit of a nuisance. I haven't noticed any enhancement of colour. Could it be that you have sunshine where you are, George? ;-)))

That's marvellous information and I'd say you're spot-on, Amelia. With your start, I've now found this link (which picks up the common name): weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au/Weeds/Montbretia . Many thanks indeed, with ipernity here, who needs Google?

Amelia beat me to it George. I have a lot of crocosmia in my garden.
A beautiful sunny picture.

Thank you, Rosa, I'm sure you're both right. In my offline time I'm in a volunteer group that controls the weeds in our local nature reserve, and this was a totally new arrival from somewhere!

As for your question about boosting the reds in images posted here:
No, I don't see that with mine, at least not at my monitor's normal setting.
If I work with the blue filter to protect my eyes, all colors intensify, but especially green.
However, the perception of color intensity can also be influenced by the background
when viewing or editing your images on your computer, if it differs from the
selected background at ipernity.
