Gardening in Fuerteventura

What's the name of the plant with the red and yellow flowers?  It looks stunning.

It looks to me like a daylily, possibly a Frans Hals one. I may be wrong though.

A lot of my cactus flowers bloomed the other day for their usual 24 hours.

GMT is correct, it's a daylily, hemerocallis : https://fuerteventura.click/Thread-Garde...3#pid15333



Since I got this one I've been on the lookout for other varieties - I love them and so easy to grow and forgiving of our climate. I'll collect some seed from this one if you'd like it?

No idea of the variety though.

Whilst out for our walk this morning I saw this what I call a Prickly Pear Plant, never seen one this big or full of fruit before -

I originally found these as small cuttings by the bins - the tallest ones are about 12 years old, and I've cut the smaller ones into tree shapes.

They look good! Rescued plants/cuttings ae the best  .
Both these type of plants amaze me with their resilience to the gales. Their roots and central core are so strong and the top growth is so solid it doesn't filter the wind, just stands up to it!
