Title: Orange flower spikes ID'd by Miriam and Trevor as Hesperaloe parviflora
Post by: Caroline on May 17, 2015, 01:17:02 AM

Can anyone identify this plant with spiky orange flowers.  It was in flower about 2 weeks ago right through the southern USA - Arkansas, Mississipi in particular.  Thanks in anticipation!
