Description
Kniphofia uvaria is also known as Tritoma, Torch Lily or Red Hot Poker due to the shape and color of its inflorescence.
It originates from South Africa, and has been introduced into many parts of the world, such as North America and Europe as a garden plant.

I captured these last weekend in Kleinmond, on the coast. These blooms were actually meters away from the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean.
Have a great weekend,
