Hi, my friends and me have this somehow invasive but cute bulbous. it seems each time we share plants, seeds or small bulbs come with the soil. It flowers only in early spring and sets seeds extremely fast. Sorry but my camera doesn't capture red very good. Any clue?

Thanks. Paul.

I think the current name is Freesia laxa, although sometimes still mislabelled as Lapeirousia cruenta. This is a plant that has had more name changes than you can shake a stick at. LOL.
