Plant ID- What is this?

If anybody can help me out, I'd appreciate it! This is a picture of a plant I've had for about 15 years now, and I have no idea what the name of it is. It has 2-3' long strappy leaves, and in August-September it produces these little pretty red flowers. The plant comes up from corms each year. I live in a zone 8, and it does fine here. (I originally bought it at the Monticello garden shop in Virginia, but now there isn't anything similar to it on their website to help me ID it.) Anybody have any ideas as to what this is? Thanks for helping...

I'll take a stab at it and suggest Crocosmia

I think it is Crocosmia, too.

It has to be Crocosmia Lucifer, I don't think any others have that colour as well as form and it is a popular one.

Lucifer overwintered in my garden by mistake a few years ago. Left it alone; it blooms every year. Only So. African plant that will cope with the extreme cold here , except for red hot pokers (knipfilia) of course. 3K cheers for cozy snow blanket.

Wow! After looking up crocosmia lucifer, I think you are all correct! Thank you very much for the help. Now I know!

I have three different colors. The red (pictured above) is the tallest. The common one is orange and I have a yellow. I pull the orange up and call them a weed. Any way, they grow like a weed.... They are a bulb type.

You're lucky that they grow like a weed in california. Up here they are a very special flower for our gardens. Am really happy that I don't have to bring them in every year now.
