I took this shot at Raleigh's Ralston Arboretum last month, but I failed to note what this plant is called. For somebody who majored in biology and did graduate work in a biological science, I'm a pretty miserable botanist. Consequently, I could use some help. Does anybody know what this thing is called?

Nate, According to my RWC peers, this is a Kniphofia, or better known as a torch lilly. - Dave
Very cool. Thank you.
I thought it was called a Qtippus coloris?
No, it's an unripened pineapple.

My lame attempt at good pix.
B, those are really nice shots.
The "Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe" shot is my favorite.
That one turned out nice. I really like the dogwoods, especially the B&W white ones. They make me think of sumie paintings.
