Oregon Elongated

Can you identify this plant/flower?

It grows in my and other’s yards in Oregon. It is narrow, tall grasses with the “flowers” being elongated (maybe 4 inches long) pompoms in yellow (top half of pompom) and orange (bottom half), which are on the top of a tall stem. There aren’t any “decorative” leaves, and really just looks like decorative grass until the “pompoms” bloom. It is a very unusual looking plant, almost tropical looking. The blooms have died now, so a photo wouldn’t help. Thanks to anyone who has seen this “alien-looking” plant.

Your “alien-looking” plant is called “Tritoma” and more commonly called, “Red Hot Poker” or “Torch Lily”.
