The first agapanthus of the summer. Soon they will be everywhere, growing wild along the roadside, in drains, wherever their seeds have landed. It thrives here in the north. Some councils list it as a pest species as it is a major threat to native plants. Still, I find them a welcome sight.
Inspired by Betty from Taranaki and her blog Photographing New Zealand where she hosts a weekly photo link up - My Corner of the World.
I'm not familiar with the plant but I love the color
ReplyDeleteThey are a beautiful colour, aren't they? They also come in white.

ReplyDeleteHow in the world could that be a pest? So beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI know! Being a pest doesn't stop us from admiring the beauty, does it?
DeleteIt's nice to see someone is enjoying summer. It makes those of us up here in the north remember that good times will be coming back, maybe not soon, but on the horizon. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Margy. Thanks for your comment.
DeleteI love the purple agapanthus. I have a couple of the white one ready to burst into bloom.
ReplyDeleteThe jacaranda trees have been sharing their beauty with us during the past couple of months...I love jacarandas...they are so beautiful.
I love the jacarandas, too, Lee, but with a touch of sadness as they bloom the week my sister died. One of her last words were, "The jacarandas will be out soon." They aren't flowering here yet.
DeleteI love to see them, too. Their colors blend so well with the other wild flowers along the roadside!
ReplyDeleteYour link at 'My Corner of the World' this week is much appreciated!

They are always a pleasure to see, Betty. All the wild flowers are coming out now.
DeleteI had a bank of agapanthus in front of The Cottage. They love being crowded together and stabalised the bank beautifully.
