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.

Not really, Maloclm.... Luit has shown  us some crackers in the Weekly Lisse Flower Show thread
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1315.msg210607#msg210607 and there have been others in flower too from Rudi...

Agapanthus have followers hereabouts  ;)

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