Montbretia or Crocosima.
Beautiful plant but an invasive pest as it stifles native flora.
Near St Agnes Head. On the site of Camp Cameron, where black US service personnel were placed during World War II, presumably so as not to frighten the natives in the more populous parts of the country. Boxer Joe Louis was stationed here and described it as the most boring two years of his life!
For Pam.

I tried to grow them in my London gardens but to no avail, they just don't like London clay!
Camp Cameron was dismantled after the war and they did a very thorough job. Absolutely no sign remains of it, yet it was a very extensive camp, spreading over much of the St Agnes area.
