Description
Derived from the words 'ekemos' which translates to solitary and 'oura', meaning tall, describes this plant to a tea. Solitary spikes from which the flowers appear can reach heights of up to 8 feet tall. Each spike can contain hundreds of tiny, fragrant flowers, in a variety of colors that bloom from the bottom up. The overall appearance of the flowered spike resembles a bottle brush, a fox's tail or a candlestick.

I took this in a beautiful botanical garden in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
