Good to see the first pictures of agapanthus for 2011. I was beginning to think that agapanthus were becoming the new 'gladioli'... i.e. unfashionable, here on SRGC.

Agapanthus have followers hereabouts ;)

And there are quite a lot of "glads" about too.... is there no end to our enthusiasms?

That's a stunner, Hans,
is it a selection or hybrid of A. inapertus?
cheers
