Agapanthus season

Now that the jacarandas have finished their flush of purple, it's time for the agapanthuses to show their stuff. They are a very popular street planting, like this patch along the footpath in Chalmers St, Surry Hills. Occasionally plant vandals lop off their heads, but I haven't seen any of that this year (so far).

Aggies are native to South Africa.

  3. Blue and white - our colours of flag
    and also during a proper winter,
    snow and blue sky. Perhaps it`s here
    after Christmas in this odd year in Finland.
    All the best for you, Sally!

  4. I truly hope the vandals leave them alone. They are beautiful. I love purple, lavender, and green together.

  5. I like them! I have several plants in my garden, some fear the frost but not all of them, strange!
