📸 Mossley - June25 #FlowersOnFriday #Bloomscrolling #clouds #nature #Permaculture #IncredibleEdibleMossley #GoodEarthCommunity
Bees feasting on a plantation of Red Hot Pokers, an almost alien like flower. According to wikipedia: Kniphofia is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Asphodelaceae, first described as a genus in 1794.All species of Kniphofia are native to Africa. Common names include tritoma, red hot poker, torch lily and poker plant. It’s uncanny how some flower names describe them perfectly.
