Kniphofia nelsonii

From today until my vacation ends in mid-August, I'm abbreviating the commentary accompanying the photographs. -- Daniel

Commonly known as “red-hot pokers” or “torch lilies”, you can read more about this African genus of plants here: Kniphofia via the South African National Biodiversity Institute.

Photograph taken in UBC's Alpine Garden.
