A genus of flowering plants with bright red, orange, or yellow flowers, native to South Africa and popular in ornamental gardens.
From Greek 'krokos' (saffron, golden-yellow) + 'osme' (smell/scent), named for the plants' bright saffron-like colors and fragrant flowers.
Crocosmia flowers are pollinated by sunbirds in Africa and hummingbirds in gardens where they're grown—the same bright colors that attract these birds work so well that gardeners use them to bring wildlife to their yards!
