I am on a gardening roll. Just ask my husband and friends at work. I have been obsessing on California natives but came across this non native at one of the historical buildings in Cambria. The big beauty is near the side of Hidden Gate Antiques off of Main Street in Cambria. I found a variety of this at the Cambria Pines Nursery and Dan planted it in our garden. The plant is a grasslike finely toothed foilege that produces bare stems topped by nodding tubular flowers ranging from coral reds to oranges and yellows. The plants attrat hummingbirds. The plant is also called Red Hot Poker and Torch Lily. It originates from the Cape Province in South Africa.
