Agapanthus

12 Aug 2019 • They weren’t all flattened by the heavy rain 😊💙

Just glorious 💙💙

These ones self-seeded. They are on the edge of a bed that is so shaded that the day lilies that I had here never flowered but these look very happy 🤷‍♀️ @pelly

I have mine in pots but I want to put them in the garden, your siting of them has just given me an idea of where they could go Jacqueline, thank you 💙💙

You’re welcome. I have some in pots too. White ones that looked amazing this year and black ones that haven’t flowered 😢 I’m hoping the white ones will self-seed too 🙏 @pelly

To be honest I didn’t even realise they self-seeded. I’ve still got so much to learn Jacqueline 🙄👍

Neither did I...until they did! 😉 @pelly

What a lovely colour - very delicate 💜

I was surprised how purple it looked in the photo as I think of them as being blue 🤷‍♀️ @rachelbrooks

Looks very lilac on my screen!

12 Aug 2019 • They got a bit flattened by the heavy rain but are still lovely 💙

What a shame, but I agree with you 💙💙💙

Looks beautiful!

That just looks sooo idyllic x x x

Aww you’ve still got the colour though....💜

They’re lovely plants aren’t they Jane. Originally given to me as seedlings and they spread further every year 💙 @pelly

Thanks Franz 😊 @grex

There’s a seat nearby 😉😊@clipperty

I have, and they’re not all flattened Elaine 😊@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I thought they were bowing to you as you walked along the path 😉 Mine always flop...I mean bow, whatever the weather!

That’s exactly what they do, before being stooden on! @rachelbrooks

Stooden hey? 🤔😆 alrighty then! 😉

27 Jul 2018 • Took this photo yesterday before the wind and rain arrived... These often self-seed in the cracks but this one landed in the flower bed 💙

That's what I like, well behaved flowers that find themselves the right spot to grow.

Couldn’t agree more Annette. My favourite type of flower 💐 @Annettenoosa

Very considerate Jacqueline, these are so lovely 💙💙💙

Very! I noticed them last year and thought “well they’re not going to flower there are they?!” but left them be... @pelly

They're definitely saying thank you 😍😍

And they’re still upright despite the wind and rain, which is more than can be said for the stachys behind them 🙄 @pelly

27 Jul 2018 • Still dry as a bone here but the agapanthus were glowing in the dusk 💙

Aren’t they beautiful? Tbh the rain here - nice as it was - flash in the pan. Still watered the pots! Had half my bike stolen on Sunday. 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡 Long story short, have a new one now. Long live the 🚴🏻‍♀️ x x x

Oh no! Half?! That’s almost worse than taking the whole thing. Glad to hear you’ve got a new one already 👍😊🚴🏻‍♀️ @clipperty

They took the bit that wasn’t padlocked. We’d padlocked them together in the middle of busy town centre...bar stewards...Yup would have been better if they’d nicked the lot!! Xx

Beautiful 💙

Bar stewards? You or the thiefs?! @clipperty

Thanks Belinda. I couldn’t get over how bright they were. It was almost 10 pm! @belindah

Smirry. Great word that I’ve not heard in a long time 👍 Similar here now but set to get heavier again. Bad timing wasn’t it 😡 @suzyw

😳And waterproof trousers?! And wellies too 😬 @suzyw

Sounds like a plan. I quite like watching rain...when I’m in the dry @suzyw

Bar stewards = b’stards... I was being polite 😂😘😂

😂🤣😂🤣😂 I obviously don’t do polite. Hadn’t got a clue what you were on about 😆😆😆 Have you been able to use it as an excuse to upgrade?! I got my first road bike when my first “proper” bike was stolen when I was a student.

Now in full flower 😊

Not a great photo but these are mine Lee and they have self-seeded at the edge of the path @leebe

Wow, they are beautiful @awomanonabike. Fingers crossed, I will keep you posted.

I look forward to seeing them come summer 😍 @leebe

Almost...

I love everything about this picture 👌🏼💚

Lovely.Love Agapanthus and your picture 😍

Aw, thanks Rachel 😊😊😊 @rachelbrooks

Me too! Thanks Jacqui 😍@Muzz67

I have some in pots Jason, that doesn't look like it's going to flower this year. I wondered if they weren't getting enough sun. Fingers crossed, yours are just a little late 🤞🏻 @Jasonsparkes1

Almost there...

Everything is happening out there! Even the agapanthus are waking up 😊

Everything is so exciting at the moment Jacqueline, I'm loving it. Why on earth have I left it this long to discover a real passion. 😍😍 @awomanonabike

Oh Jane, I can feel your excitement 😊👏🏻😊 I have no idea but it doesn't matter as you're making up for it now 😊 @pelly

I certainly am Jacqueline. 😊😊

And it's brilliant 😊😊 @pelly

It is sooo exciting Jane and Jacqueline! 😬😬 @pelly

It's that time, that only lasts a few days, where I truly believe that this year will be different & I won't let it get out of control...but then it all happens so fast 😊😁😳🙃 @rachelbrooks @pelly

😂😂😂

Oh! So that's not just me then?! Phew! What a relief Jacqueline! 😉😆 @pelly

😂 Definitely not. But of course this year will de different... 😂😂 @rachelbrooks

I have no idea being new to all this but I don't care. I just want to see the beginning of my dream. It will start next weekend when I get my David Austin roses for my Birthday, then all my other plants will! go in. There is still a lot of work to do but it will be done this week so that I am ready. @awomanonabike @rachelbrooks . 😍😍

These were looking stunning this evening. Needless to say they are the ones that have self-seeded in the cracks of the paving. No sign of flowers on the ones in the pots!

I tried to plant midnight purple version of this and it hasn't grown at all, only had 2 grass leaves on it any advice?

All I know is that they thrive on neglect! Mine were originally planted in the space in some paving where a climbing rose is planted against the wall but have now seeded in the cracks in the paving. South-west facing, if that helps

Hi Wesley, I just happened to be looking at this post and realised I forgot to tag you in my reply - a year ago! You don't seem to be around so I hope all is well and that you are just busy enjoying real life 😊 @wesleybrian
