Would be better with some context :-) But they look a lot like a crocosmia seed head.

This is funny. We were together in my garden today, where I have seed heads of Crocosmia 'Lucifer'. My friend said that she had taken a photo of something similar, and sent me the picture. I said it didn't look like Crocosmia to me, but I didn't know what else it was ;-). Mine are already all dried out and brown, though I know they start out red. I just didn't recognize them like that. There are other pictures on the internet that show she and you were right. Thank you for helping me know my own plants ;-).
