    Can anyone tell me the names of these two plants please, I can't remember them ...

    First one comes from a corm and has sword shaped leaves. It flowers in late summer/autumn.
    I think the name may begin with 's' ?

    Second one is a tender perennial which I keep in a pot and take into the greenhouse for winter ...

    Schizostylis is what they used to be called but now they are hesperantha. I'll always remember them as the former.

    The second is a pelargonium.
