Crocosmia ✨
Crocosmia was flowering all over the coast of Northern California during our August trip there. At certain angles the flower shape looks like a bird wings to me, so I was trying to capture it so it looks like an orange bird. :-) Pentacon certainly helped with the dof here to make my idea possible.
Sadly, despite its beauty, this is an invasive plat to California:

"Species description Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora (crocosmia or montbretia) is a perennial (family Iridaceae) found along the coast of California and in the San Francsico Bay region. Crocosmia is a commonly cultivated ornamental plant, and is most commonly found near urban areas. It prefers disturbed areas, including roadsides, coastal scrub, prairie and forests. Crocosmia is a superior competitor for water, light and nutrients, and it excludes native plants by growing in dense patches. It reproduces using seeds and underground corms. Upon introduction to a new area, crocosmia spreads slowly at first, then more rapidly as the species becomes established.
