Spotted these beautiful flowering Montbretia plants in the front yard of a house in my Emeryville, CA neighborhood. The whole front yard is planted with them and it looks amazing.

Thank you for the ID monkey-mind and nana-puppet! :)
montbretia i think is the latin name: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/695...
Thanks Ismael--do you know the species name?
commonly called bailarinas
I'm not sure Nicole. I just looked at Watsonia photos online and they do look similar. I am going to take some more photos of the plant and flower stem and will upload them. Thanks for the suggestion!
Are these a form of Watsonia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watsonia_%2...
