Flower question

Does anyone know the name of this flower please - we planted & can't remember the name of it, it is really pretty & has a slight scent to it - you can see how fragile the stem is but they stand aboout 12-14 inches high.

Not off the top of my head, it's very pretty, was it a bulb or seed/plant, if you know what I mean

Not 100% sure but it reminds me of crocosima, does that ring any bells, will do a bit of digging (parden the pun) and find out a bit more

I'm stuck, can't think of anything else it could be, but maybe someone else with more gardening knowledge will be able to help out
