Kniphofia


On a grey, mild evening, a red-hot poker seems like a small statement of joy.

[Update: I see the problem I had with Pohanginapete not updating in link lists on other blogs now affects this blog, too. I'll try to work out how to fix it, but in the meantime, you might have to check here regularly instead of waiting for updates on another blog.]

Such a vibrant statement they make...

What an excellent Christmas card!

EC — like a floral exclamation mark, I guess.

RR — I suppose garden colour like this isn't common at the moment in your part of the world!

You suppose wrong - there are still roses, penstemons and pelargoniums flowering here. There hasn't been a hard frost yet.

Such an alien creature. But it does look like a red, inverted christmas tree, so yeah, good for a card.

Zhoen said...

Er, not inverted, but a variation, sorta.

RR, that's good to hear. Gardens without bright colours can be beautiful in a serene way, but those with these sorts of colours seem cheerier.

Zhoen, I hadn't noticed the shape until you pointed it out. Too distracted by the colour, I suppose.
