This one isn't as easy, but the first thing that came to mind was Crocosmia...

Good guess with the canna, though. Are those leaves in the back attached to the flower? If so, then it is canna!! For sure!

I know I have taken pictures of flowers that have another plants foliage in the background, so identifying can be tricky if that is the case!!

Hi, If all I could see was the flowers I too would say Crocosmia, but if the leaves that are wide flat variegated and slightly waxy looking are a part of the same plant then I would say it is a CANNA BULB of some sort.

Watsonia ... if it: has thin strappy leaves, grows to about 3 to 4 feet tall, likes sun, is from a bulb, has blossoms of either coral, cranberry red, or white. (there may be other colors but these are ones I know about)

I believe it to be in the penstemon family.(bearded tongue) They are too many varieties of this species to name and with out a close and personal look I cant be sure. It is vert beautiful and thank you for sharing it with us!
God Bless

Mombresia. Also called Autumn Gladioli. I'm not sure the leaves in the background are its own. I cant get rid of it in my garden!
