Torch Lilies - Kniphofia uvaria

These lovely plants have been growing in our garden for years. I love them and every time they flower I think to myself "I must photograph them."
But alas, I procrastinate and the next thing they are past their best.
So this is their year. I have always referred to them as Redhot Pokers but they are certainly not red.
It was with some relief that I read today that they are also called "Torch Lilies". I will henceforth call them torch lilies but I suspect I will always, in my mind, think of them as "Yellow Redhot Pokers."... Old habits die hard.
Tomorrow morning I am heading off to Pine Valley again for some more Fungi Photography. I am taking my friend Dawn with me as she has recently started to take a serious interest in photography and is doing great work with her Panasonic Lumix camera. We hope the predicted wet weather will hold off for us until well into the afternoon!
