Originally from Madagascar the Red Hot Poker is one of my favourite plant.They grow up to 60 inches high and look wonderful in a garden when everything else starts fading away. The are also known as Kniphofia, Torch lily, and Poker plant but its Latin name is Kniphofia uvaria.
For years I tried to grow some in my garden unsuccessfully until this year when I had one that was a lot smaller than this one on the Franciscan Gardens.

Hi !
We have some flowers like these in france too ...
It's seems to be called "snakes flowers" no ?
Perfect name for a beautiful flower! Hope yours will continue to grow.
These are fabulous looking, but I can't get them to grow either. These are lovely!

In England they are called Red Hot Pokers but snake flowers is not a bad name either, is it?

Don't give up! Eventually you will get there. I must have had over 10 attempts before I got my first one.
