Kniphofia ichopensis

Quick Characteristics:

Kniphofia ichopensis Schinz grows solitary or in small groups at marshy places in the Natal midlands. The plants have dull green distichous leaves and mostly yellow or, rarely, salmon pink flowers in a lax inflorescence. Stamens are only slightly exerted from the long slender perianth tubes at anthesis and later withdrawn. Main flowering time is summer, but may sometimes occur as early as November or as late as April. Photo from Ellen Hornig.
