Yes Bev  Chasmanthe floribunda is a weed here, 
pops up all over the place and I don't like it but others do....
The Iridaceae Family has many weedy spp. in WA
Freesia hybrids, several Gladiolus spp., Ferraria crispa, Crocosmia spp.
Babiana spp.  Homeria spp.  Gynandiris,  Watsonia etc etc..

Its also quite obvious why they are here as they are rather attractive
and I am guilty of growing some of these in my garden.
Just a shame they are so invasive.
