Red Hot Poker. We had these in the garden in Durban when we were growing up - it's lovely to see them here in New Zealand. As its name implies, this is a small variety. It's not usually curved - this one has been a bit wind-blown. Photograph no. 365 for me - what a journey it has been.
@ssimon Thank you very much for that, Stephen. Really appreciate your support over the past year, and enjoyed your photos just as much! Need a bit of a break from daily posting, but definitely will be around, looking and commenting.
Congratulations on finishing the year. How nice of them to put the fireworks on for you the following day to celebrate :) I have favourited this photo for the achievement of taking a photo every day for a year. It is an amazing thing to have done and thank you for sharing it. I've enjoyed dropping in and enjoying all your flowers and have really appreciated your comments and congratulations on getting a photo onto the PP. Congratulations again.
