Agapanthus

At the moment the agapanthus, white and blue, are cheering up my garden with their distinct white and blue flowers.  This much maligned plant is being treated as a noxious weed but I will let the ordinary and the mini varieties live on in my garden as they are hardy and will flower without fail in summer.  I remove the seed heads when they appear to stop spreading the plants where they should not be.

This clump of the mini variety gives some colour to this nondescript part of the garden.

This large clump of mini agapanthus survive well on this west facing slope, nestling beneath a flourishing cumquat tree.  This patch would have been bare without the agapanthus.

These white and blue agapanthus started off in a pot waiting to find a suitable spot when I first moved to this garden in 2008.  Over the years the white and blue agapanthus have remained where they are, outgrowing the pot, which has been completely hidden.  When the jacaranda is flowering the blue flowers seem to meld into each other.  This year however, the jacaranda struggled to perform.
