the first time i spotted these little beauties, i had recently purchased a macro lens and had a ball photographing the minute details. i was really drawn to the colors - the way the yellow kind of melds into the coral color just captivates me!
once i had a friend over who is knowledgeable about such things and she said she thought it looked like a kniphofia (also known as a red hot poker or a torch lily) but they don't generally bloom in december. i guess nobody told it that!
Once again wowed by the photography. You do have a gift of capturing the energy, Patty. All I can say about your plant is ... Blooming in December? Must be a woman ... doing the impossible yet again.;o)
