nybg: brilliantbotany: This is a torchlily, also called red hot poker. It is in the Asphodeloideae subfamily of the Xanthorrhoeaceae family. Its scientific name is Kniphofia ‘flamenco,’ and it produces a large amount of nectar. This attracts hummingbirds, which pollinate the impressive flower. Photo by me. These are sparking up the Perennial Garden with their color. They live up to their name in the best way. —MN
