The correct name for this beauty is Kniphofia uvaria, but it is also known as Tritoma, Torch Lily, or Red Hot Poker due to the shape and color of its inflorescence. The leaves are reminiscent of a lily, and the flowerhead can reach up to 1.52 m (5.0 ft) in height. There are many varieties of torch lily, and they bloom at different times during the growing season. The flowers are red, orange, and yellow.
I see them in the park all the time and think they are just gorgeous and a little different. We get to seem them here where I live (Oklahoma) mostly in the spring time before the weather gets too hot and dry.
