Kniphofia uvaria, commonly known as red-hot poker or torch lily

First butterfly to pose for me this year.

A plant on the island of Madeira that I was told is definitely not Red Hot Poker.

What is that Dawn?

Over a dozen baby tomatoes.

raven, I don't know what type of plant it is. I took the photo in Singapore and they were growing in a sidewalk garden. Here is a picture of the entire plant. They grow on a stalk about 3 - 4 feet tall and kind of reminded me of a cornstalk except for the top of the stalk has that pink flower/cone on top.

I believe Dawn's plant is Costus spicatus or C. woodsonii. I'm not familiar enough with the differences between the two to separate them, and they are often incorrectly labeled in photos.

I agree, a ginger.

Thank you for the plant identification gyr_falcon and PKponder. Unless it's the most commonly known of plants, that is something I'm not very knowledgeable about. All I know is that it was a very striking plant.
