Orange flower spikes ID'd by Miriam and Trevor as Hesperaloe parviflora

« 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!

I am establishing a garden on Waiheke Island, 35 minutes out of Auckland. The site is windy, the clay soil dries out quickly in summer and is like plasticine in winter, but it is still very rewarding. Water is an issue, as we depend on tanks. I'm looking forward to sharing ideas. Caroline
