Love Flower

The African Blue Lily
(Agapanthus)

A clump forming plant
With the power to enchant
Has emerald green leaves
To show its ambition and greed

With its rich blue flower heads
That quite happily spread
They shine in the late summer evening
And they glisten in the early morning dew. ...author unknown

Agape means "Love" Anthus means "Flower"

Nice on black background.

Aww, I took a picture of this flower today, at least I think it is the same one. I didn't know the name, so I am glad to learn it from you!

@stephanies Glad I could help! There is a smaller version called a Peter Pan but as far as I can see, they all grow large. :)

Very nice shot. You know I love Agapanthus. And now, I am happy to know what it means, as well.

[M. Brutus]

I like the vivid colors and casual composition of your photo.

@mbrutus Thank you so much! Glad you liked the information and photo. All are in a different phase of bloom. They are a favorite of mine and grow successfully in our area.

Such a pretty photo. I like how the buds are in focus this time rather than the flower.
