So many stalks this year! #red-hot-poker #kniphofia #kniphofia-nobilis

So pretty. Almost got one this year. Yours has great colours 😍😍

Can’t get these to go in my garden 🙁

Beauty!! @kez001uk

@hkyfvr @saco thank you both 😀 always loved these so am happy they’re finally happy in my garden 😜😅

@juliesgarden they used to hate mine too. These cheapies from Tesco are the only ones I’ve managed to grow! 🤪

My pleasure Kerry 🥰

Might try another one 👍🏻

@juliesgarden always worth a try 😁

👍🏻👍🏻😘

Almost as tall as the Flowering Almond 😲 #red-hot-poker #kniphofia #kniphofia-nobilis

Looks like a beautiful day in your garden!

@jmlincoln it was too lovely 🥵 27°c, way hotter than we are used to 😂 thank god I was gardening in the shade 🙏🏻

That is a warm day, indeed! We are at the time of the year where it's cold, windy and rainy one day and pure, hot sunshine the next 😜 A little whacky but the plants love it 😆

@jmlincoln keeps you guessing huh 😜 I much prefer that kind of weather pattern to a week straight of vile heat 🥵

I couldn't agree more @kez001uk

Nice 👍🏻 I’m wanting to thin mine out but there’s a wren nesting in it 😊

Lovely flower ❤️❤️

Super specimen 🤩

@vegandmore thanks Christine 😀 wow! Must be huge to have a nest in it 😮

@hkyfvr thanks Diane 😃

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😄

Very welcome Kerry 😁

At least something has enjoyed the endless rain 😂 #red-hot-poker #kniphofia #kniphofia-nobilis

I bet its about 7 ft tall is it....😃

Wow, is this earlier than usual Kerry?

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom it bl@@dy well should be! 🤣🤣🤣

@sieveheadsarah I just looked back and it’s about the same as last year, maybe a little behind. Are they not meant to flower yet? 😜

I think i think that as mine is always way behind everyone else’s Kerry, it doesn’t flower until July, maybe that’s normal for it, I’ll have to look it up.

@sieveheadsarah I did read up and said anywhere from spring to late summer. Very vague 😆

I looked mine up and it is a later one Kerry, July to September, I have no patience 🤣😂

@sieveheadsarah oh I know that feeling 😂 wisteria is testing mine! 😡

Kerry my Constance Elliot is testing mine big time this year, it’s less than pathetic at the moment, compared to this time last year 😵‍💫

@sieveheadsarah hopefully she’s just delayed because of the colder weather. This coming week should pep her right up 🤞🏻☀️

Fingers crossed Kerry 🤞🏻

Lovely ❤️🧡❤️

Love these, not sure whether mine will flower this year as it had to be moved when the front garden was done and it spent quite a while in a pot 🧡🤔

Wonderful 🔥🔥🔥

Very unique!

@cyndi I agree! Used to love them as a kid and so glad I finally got one to flower 🥰

@sabbanrula thanks Rula 😛

@pelly I guess the move may delay it flowering til next year 😐 this one is in a pot and think it’s created a second plant already 😜

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😊

@brugman thank you Ivan ☺️

@gjones they’re great aren’t they 🤩 so exotic looking I think 🧡💛

@cyndi 😂 yesssss! Could do with one now! 🥵

#red-hot-poker #kniphofia #kniphofia-nobilis

Can’t wait to see this open, I’ve planted some that are out of date and keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏼 lol

On its way to looking red hot, love the transitions the flower takes to getting end result, fab shot Kerry.

Starting to heat up! 👍

Love that knobbly nobilis 👌👏

Fantastic flowers they look so exotic

@Mary200631 they’re great looking things aren’t they 😛 I’ve tried to grow them a few times and never had success until now, with a cheap root from Tesco! 😂 I wish you luck with yours 🤞🏻

@solly1961 thanks Mark 😛 it’s my first ever one so I’ve been enjoying watching it progress. They’re fast once they get going!

@jeatacake I’m so happy it is 😁 always wanted one. I remember them from my uncles garden when I was little. Fascinated me back then and think they do even now 🤓

@gardengimp isn’t it great 😛 although now I want more varieties 🙈 I blame you entirely! 😂

@alan1111 they have a tropical look about them don’t they 😛 can’t wait to see it in all its glory 🧡💛

@kez001uk Guilty as charged m'lud 😝😀

First ever flower 🥳 #red-hot-poker #kniphofia #kniphofia-nobilis

Nice one Kerry! 👏 🔥

👍👍👍

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😀 several attempts and no luck until now 😁

@belindah still get excited to see things flower for the first time 😂

Oh me too Kerry! Every year, and especially when my red hot pokers start emerging! My parent gave me 5 of them from their garden and I'm so excited that they've now increased to 8!!!😀😆@kez001uk

@belindah that’s lovely, makes you think of them whenever they grow 😁 I didn’t even know they multiplied 😯 I might have 2 by 2025 🤣🤣🤣

It was the next year after I planted them even that they grew another!

@belindah oh wow! Reckon you must have a magic touch with them! 😛

They were so well established in my parents garden that I tried my best to find a similar spot in my garden so they'd be happy 😊💚🧡❤💛

@belindah think that’s the trick, knowing where things like to be. Just that isn’t always where they tell you on the instructions 😂

Yep definitely.... my parents ones are positioned in a well drained, corner by the fence so fairly sheltered from wind, with sun at least half of the day.
