Bulbinella

The last of the flowers ... I never noticed before but perhaps the flowers die back in winter? The plant still looks healthy enough but no more flowers and even this stem has only a few left
Interesting flower. I had to look it up. Looks like the blossoms bloom from the bottom up so they would most likely fade that way, too. The wiki said they winter over and aestivate with swollen tubers. Sounds like they're asleep half the year.
I like the dead blossom with the little droplet that looks like an eye.

@meotzi Thanks for the information - I should go and look it up. I like having this plant readily available just outside my door. It's always green so it's never an eyesore, and the fleshy leaves have a sort of gel liquid inside them that has medicinal properties. Excellent quick first treatment for any little scalds and burns or cuts and grazes or insect bites ...
