Flowers with 'firey' names please?

[Seahorse]

Can anyone give me a few ideas for flowers with names that pertain to fire or heat? Preferably ones that will grow outdoors?

I've just converted an old 'stove' type electric heater into a planter and thought it would make an amusing horticultural joke to fill it with a different kind of fire. I've put some red hot pokers in but that's all so far!

What a lovely idea, looking forward to you posting pics when it is in full glory. Sorry, so far can't help with flower names though.

Crocosmia 'Lucifer' springs to mind and would go well with the Knifofia!

I might still have some Lucifer seeds collected last year if you are interested - send a pm if you want some.

Flum, I have some of your Lucifers already - cheers for suggesting them Snadger! I've just had a look in B&Q and come home with a Flame Lily, Blaze of Fire Salvia and Glowing Embers Marigold

Firethorn - pyracantha?

Short term memory loss! Ain't old age a terrible thing!

Isn't there a fleur called "red hot poker"?

[annafricangrey]

what about an ice plant? then you could have fire and ice together!

Yep - Seahorse already has that - it's the kniphofia Snadger referred to. He lapsed into a bit of the Latin there!

Ah, I thought he were sneezing!

More good ideas! I'm quite taken with the 'fire & ice' suggestion. Maybe 'fire' in the stove and 'ice' around it?!

why not grow a prarie fire chilli in there as well, quite compact, ornamental and you can eat them too?
