NEW NEIGHBOR & WEDDING BELLES

"New Neighbor" is a new photo and is also more than just a new agapanthus blossom. It's the first to show up in this particular garden area on our grounds, The Promenade. There are a lot of them around the corner near our pool, and elsewhere. But this is the first on The Promenade and must have been a "gift" left behind by a bird. :-) One for which I'm grateful. It's always fun to watch these flowers go from a tight spear-head like bud, to the phase in the above photo, and then to the full blossom.

Here's a three year old photo of some in full bloom that grow near the entrance to our garage:

If I've been correctly informed, the larger agapanthus blossoms are called "Lily of the Nile" and the smaller, "Peter Pan." They come in pale blue (what the one in the photo at top will be when fully open) and white, and I've also seen agapanthus in an absolutely luscious deep purple.
