CROCOSMIA 'APRICOT SUPRISE'. Obtained as a large brown flowered form but turned out incorrect, but with a good sized apricot flower hence the name.
CROCOSMIA 'GOLDEN BALLERINA'.

CROCOSMIA 'ROSE QUEEN'. It is quite an unusual colour. Yellow centred, Orange flowers that turn Rose Pink in the sun. Rose Queen is technically an Earlham Hybrid. Have yet to find out the provenance for this one, or where it originally came from.
CROCOSMIA 'SHORT APRICOT'. Pottsii??? I don't really know anything about this plant....
CROCOSMIA 'ZEAL GIANT'. Rich Pale-Orange flowered. Hybrid bred by Terry Jones of Zeal Monachorum, Devon. Largest corms of any Crocosmia; like paniculata in habit but with larger flowers. Hardy.

CROCOSMIA, 'COMET'...Combining the rich colouring of 'Westwick' with the great size of 'Prometheus' and the best of the Crimson stained varieties (Wallace 1913). 'Comet' may be descended from 'Prometeus' and has all the fine qualities of that glorious montbretia. Its colour is a little deeper, and the dark centre gives this flower an aspect of its own. The blooms are large and well formed. (Arnott 1910a), (KAVB Award of Merit, 1918).
CROCOSMIA, 'JENNINE'.Clear Yellow self-sown seedling, similar to Jenny Bloom but shorter. Flowers are smaller and presented below the stem rather than above...

First Class Certificate, Edinburgh International Exhibition, September, 1905. This must be regarded as the finest Montbretia yet raised, for not only has it large and brilliant flowers, but it grows with remarkable vigour, and flowers with a freedom that is sure to make it popular. The plants shown were three feet six inches high, and the spikes were freely branched. Each flower measured three and a quarter to three and a half inches across, and was of a rich orange colour, flushed and stained with crimson at the centre. Award of Merit, August 1st.'Gardener's Magazine, August 12th, 1905.
CROCOSMIA 'QUEEN MARY II'. Syn. Of ‘Columbus’. Pink flushed rich Apricot-Yellow flowers, deep Maroon base. The name ‘Queen Mary II’ was applied by Gary Dunlop in 1995 to a Dutch cultivar of uncertain name that resembled the original ‘Queen Mary’.

Willem Heemskerk, who bought the nursery stock from van Dijk renamed it because he was unable to identify it.
