@corinnec @grammyn Thank you Corinne and Katy. The birds are really liking these petals. Eery time I come out of the house here a bird flies off.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Cool shot. So interesting the way the birds go after the petals.

Nice. Is that what they call a red hot poker?

Good shot- it looks like it's been dipped in paint.

Thank you everyone so much. I really didn't like these flowers at first but my husband insisted they be planted. They've really grown on me. The colors don't last very long. I like the birds like the petals. They disappear and I never see them on the ground anywhere. There are always birds near them.

[Kathy]

@illinilass Yes. This is a red hot poker which is actually a member of the lily family. Short flowering period and leaves long spiky leaves the rest of the time.
