Name that plant...



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

    I thought it was called a Qtippus coloris?

    No, it's an unripened pineapple.

    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.
