Belamcanda flabellata ?
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
This plant could not be confidently identified to species: 'Belamcanda flabellata' is not a clearly accepted taxon, as the genus Belamcanda is now included within Iris (its type species, Belamcanda chinensis, corresponding to Iris domestica). The following therefore describes characteristics of the genus. A rhizomatous perennial native to East Asia (China, Japan), it forms a fan of iris-like, sword-shaped grey-green leaves. In summer, upright stems bear flowers with six spreading tepals, orange and speckled with red, followed by capsules that split open to reveal clusters of shiny black seeds resembling a blackberry. It needs full sun and well-drained soil.
