Calocortus what...?

No clue


Watsonia ,.......?

[Robert_Parks]

The first one looks like Gladiolus trichonemifolius, and the second Glad looks like alatus (or one of the lookalikes). Alatus is quite happy with out coastal climate.

[Too Many Plants!]

First one looks very close to my G. Tristis, and I do believe there is some variation in that sp..

[Too Many Plants!]

B. Rubrocyanea looks correct to me.
3rd yellow flowers I'd guess Ixia, but the short wide sword-shaped foliage has me wondering...no clue on sp. though.
That Spectacular Gladiolus I believe is either Equitans or Alatus. I can't see the foliage very well, and I believe that would help with the ID.

The Calochortus appears to be C. monophyllus.
