Red Hot Pokers occur naturally in all the nine provinces of South Africa. Kwa-Zulu Natal possesses the highest number of Kniphofia species, compared to the other provinces with ± 40 to 50 species. Kniphofia also occurs in Lesotho, Swaziland and northward towards Sudan. The species diversity, however, decreases as one moves north. Three species occur naturally outside continental Africa. Two of these species occur in Madagascar and one in Yemen. Most Kniphofia species are found growing near rivers or in places where conditions will become damp or marshy for part of the year. A small number of species prefer dry conditions with good drainage.

Love this!

Wow! Excellent!

I love the vivid colors. Nice shot.

Brian, wonderful composition. Love that the huts are in the background in this one. The lighting is just perfect!

I like this plant. We have it here in a relatively dry area, I knew it was exotic but I didn't know it came from Africa. The funny part is that the reason I love it besides its really pretty, is because it attracts a type of hummingbird that I love, so when I see it, i'm sure i'm going to get some picture of the bird. I'll upload one to may gallery so you can see it!!!
