keikei is a baby plant that forms on the bloom stem. i think the origin of the term is Hawaiian, and it is most commonly used by orchid growers. i know irises will very rarely produce them. some irids commonly produce them. but this was my first time to see one on a Kniphofia... so I was surprised!
