Nice photo. Nice rendering, too, is it with the Nikon Z 40 f/2, or Voigtländer of any kind?

Thanks Christeo. This is the Nikon Z 40/2 SE

Kniphofia's are nice there are some hybrids in special colours. https://hessenhof.nl/genera/kniphofia-vuurpijl-knip
I generally find them too tender for our climate, unless you find the right spot.

The streetgarden on the south with full sun seems a great place for the Kniphofia's

Very beautiful. I guess I underestimate the little piece of plastic

Thanks Frank. The 40/2 is very nice and versatile, I also have the SE version and with the metal sunhood HN-3 a bit unplasticed.

The Nikkor 40mm f/2 (SE version, but that's just a window-dressing variant to extract more money from the hard-core old-timers) is in fact a surprisingly nice and versatile optic, despite its plastic design. It is further endeared by being a very capable performer in Infrared too. I'm on my third sample now; first was the "wrong" non-SE version so I traded it in, the second was stolen (together with my black Zfc) thus I purchased another 40 SE + black Zfc to replace these items. I had similar experiences with all these copies. Handling on the Z fc is perfect and on the Zf, nearly so as well.
