Things occasionally get a little dense and packed here, and that will prove doubly true for tomorrow, when two very wordy posts are scheduled to land. To inject a bit of lightness into the proceedings, I give you the red hot poker. This variety of Kniphofia seems a bit more manageable, coming in at a shorter height and more compact form than the red hot pokers of my youth. And that is where we shall leave the heat on this Friday night.
