Crocosmia

Today’s picture is, I think, some buds on a Crocosmia plant.
 
We had torrential rain this morning accompanied by thunder and lightening. It cleared during the late morning and became very “muggy”. More storms are forecast for this afternoon and evening. The good thing about the rain is that it has topped up the small wildlife pond. Water was also collected in a bucker and two other receptacles to help fill the pond. The large natural pond is still completely dry.

The temperature was twenty-five degrees Celsius at GMT noon.
