The first photo is the whole plant, the second is just the flower...it's a
bit fuzzy, sorry! I thought it might be a Sparaxis.

I would guess Schizostylis.

My nearest intelligent guess would be Schizostylus coccinea, not sure
which cultivar, but favour 'Sunrise' over 'Fenland Daybreak' ... or
similar.  Are you able to confirm?

I think you are right, thank you! I'll have another look at it in the
morning when it's light and see if I can work out which cultivar it might
be.
