Kniphofia is the scientific name
of the Torch Lily (which also known as Tritom and Red Hot Poker due to the
shape and color of its inflorescence) I found near Ooty, across a chain link
fence. The flowering plants are native to Africa and have narrow, grass-like
leaves that reminiscent of a lily, and the flower head can reach up to 1.52 m
in height. There are many varieties of touch lily and they bloom at different
times during the growing season and comprise flowers color in red, orange and
yellow, often bi-colored.

We call them Red Hot Pokers here but whatever you call them they sure add a pop of color behind the fence.
