Thank you, kniphofia. I think it is one acquisition that you won't regret. Mine has been blooming non-stop for 2 months with dozens and dozens of bright, colorful blooms, always looking fresh and healthy, day after day. It has "spewed" its bold blooms out across my garden path. And every time I see it, I am still mesmerized, still shoot numerous photos day after day, trying to capture the beauty of this "simple", little plant.

And in all that time I have done nothing but remove the occaisional faded bloom. I would like to dead-head it, but it just keeps adding new blooms by the dozens, and I can't bring myself to cut them back.
