Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker or Torch Lily) - what a great gift to receive! Such a fun and interesting plant.

Mine is overall more orange with a little yellow: Pyromania Orange Blaze

This friend’s entire backyard is flowers, almost no grass - it’s pretty amazing. Having the plant is going to force me to ‘get a move on’ with at least 1 of the metal raised beds.

The other friend gave me 4 (8 oz.) jars of dried flowers, herbs: rose hips, thyme, lavender & elderberries. Also, a bottle of rosemary infused olive oil from the “The Olive Oil Taproom” & 2 bottles of wine. One bottle is a dessert wine with chocolate. There were some other smaller items as well. She was catching up for missed birthdays & Christmas - I mailed my ‘catchup’ gifts earlier this year. We don’t see each other often any more & when she retires, probably later this year, she’ll move out of state to be near her daughters & grandchildren.
