Red Hot Poker (Torch Lily)
Kniphofia uvaria
Family : Xanthorrhoeaceae
Native to Africa, these exotic plants became treasures in the Victorian gardens, and treasures to bees and hummingbirds as well - they love these plants.
The red hot poker becomes especially prolific with blooms after a fire; the dead vegetation is burnt off and nutrients are released into the soil. But contrary to what one might think, these fiery blooms prefer a damp, rather than arid, soil.
This vividly coloured plant was named in 1747 after a German professor of medicine and amateur botanist who had invented a method of plant illustration by recording the outlines of pressed dried specimens covered with ink onto paper. There are some delicate colours as well.
