A TINY VISITOR TO A RED HOT POKER

I didn't notice the little bee or fly at the left top of the flower at first. But then it stood out to me and seems to draw the eye after it moves up the flower, led by its angled pose.

A quote from American Meadows http://www.americanmeadows.com/…/un…/all-about-red-hot-poker ):

"If you're looking for a stunning plant to add an accent to your sunny flower border, consider the Red Hot Poker plant. There are more than 70 species of Kniphofia or the Torch Lily from South Africa, but few have made it into the commercial trade."
"This plant once was popular in England and Europe, but during the second World War, many were replaced with edible plants in an effort to feed the people. But the interest in Red Hot Poker plants has returned, as gardeners further their search for showy, unusual, low-maintenance plants."
