yes,  Parasol plant , a lamiaceae 

or popularly known in Florida as a cup and saucer plant

the color i remember was orangish red flowers

not this bright dark red, blood like color

In europe, it was prized : https://www.monaconatureencyclopedia.com/holmskioldia-sanguinea/?lang=en

when i first saw it almost 40 years it was in a nursery Florida near the highway on the way to Miami

it was so unique we all were impressed and remember to this day .

but were sad when locally, and this unique plant , later escaped and became weedy

some very nice herbarium pages :

MY question, ANKUSH

is this an isolated plant

or is it part of a colony?

Regards

Ushadi
