Only one more day to go to the end of my month of flowers and I have another mystery flower here. Does anyone know what this one is. It does remind me of a red hot poker flower, but no idea what this is called.
@julzmaioro@karlow75@gigiflower@beryl Thanks, I have just Googled it and although it does look a bit like a red hot poker I think Julia and Beryl are right and it is an aloe. the leaves are right for an aloe too. thank you both for identifying it for me.
Wow! I was looking at those saw edged leaves as much as the flower - I wouldn't want to mess with this one. If you can't find out what it is, just call it a Triffid!
Super capture Babs, great image full of wonderful colour, you do find some strange flowers to photograph, no idea what it is I've never seen one in Lancaster to date, lol;)
@creampuff Thanks Eve. Know what you mean about a Triffid. We had an aloe with leaves like this in our garden when we lived in Cyprus and it was lethal. It never flowered, but the leaves used to rip you to shreds every time you walked past it. We used to call that plant 'Triffid" too. ha ha. Thanks for the link.
@pcoulson I think a few people have identified it correctly and it is an aloe. the leaves give it away. I've never seen one in Lancaster either. David's Dad lived there for a while and his sister still lives in Lancaster.
Lovely color and pov. What ever it is, it looks very tropical. What will you do now, when you are done with flowers? As always I know it will be great!
