One red hot poker potted plant. The flower has come and gone.
A very hardy flowering plant, with strappy leaves, and drought tolerant.
Because it has been growing in a pot the flower is smaller than it would normally be and the actual flower is more red. Once it can stretch its legs it'll be away.
They grow to about a metre high and require very little if any care.

Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Contactless pickup.

Thanks for looking.

Price: $6.50
