KNOW ABOUT RED HOT POKER


 The plant genus you’re referring to consists of both herbaceous and evergreen species. The herbaceous varieties, along with their hybrids, feature narrow, grass-like leaves ranging from 10 to 100 cm (4 to 39 in) in length. In contrast, the evergreen species have broader, strap-shaped foliage that can grow up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) long. All species in this genus are known for their vibrant, upright flower spikes that rise well above the foliage. These striking blooms, often in shades of red, orange, and yellow—sometimes bicolored—are rich in nectar, attracting bees and sunbirds during their blooming period.

              

On Mount Kilimanjaro, you may encounter this plant species at elevations above 3,000 meters (9,840 feet) above sea level. Notable locations where they can be seen include the trails leading to Horombo Hut, Simba Camp, and Second Cave, as well as along the route from Machame Hut to Shira Cave. These vibrant flowers create a vivid contrast against the mountain’s rugged terrain, adding a splash of color to the journey
