Firecracker flowers, perfect timing!

Crocosmia 'Lucifer' and Monarda 'Jacob Cline' joined forces to set hell ablaze today. They are quite reminiscent of fireworks. These flowers are surprisingly robust, as tall as I am, and loving the devil garden despite limited sun. Maybe the lack of sun has encouraged more height in search of it. The monarda bloom that's centered under the entry gate is a double-decker, one bloom growing out on top of the other on a single stem.
