Agapanthus

Morning everyone 🙋‍♀️Hopefully it’s a better day for us all and we’ll be able to get some time in the garden, I definitely need to get weeding 😱 #agapanthus #african-lily

Let's hope so, no rain but 45+ mph winds here! 😂

Morning Jane ... same here , so many weeds 😏

Morning Jane, weather better here too, happy weeding.

Morning Jane 💜💜 I need to get to that too 😂 I fear the weeds think I’m watering them instead of my plants (lol)

The gales haven't hit yet, they're supposed to kick in around ten, hey ho, here we go again 🍃💨 @anges

Morning Rula, weeding seems to be never ending doesn't it 🙄 @sabbanrula

Enjoy your weeding 😃

So true Jane 😄

Morning Julie, the recent weather changes have been ideal for them haven't they 🙄 @juliesgarden

Morning Joan, thank you 🙋 @joannie.a

Morning Jane snap..

Morning everyone, have a super Sunday 🙋‍♀️ #agapanthus #african-lily #blue

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ you too

Morning Jeremy, thank you 🙋‍♀️ @jpea

Morning Jane, your agapanthus is nearly there.

Morning Jane, not been a good year for agapanthus. Ours was totally pot bound so it was decimated trying to get it out of the pot! A couple of bits have survived and put up a few small leaves. I have another clump in the ground which has three buds so 🤞🤞

Morning Joan, it's taking it's time 🙄😂💙 @joannie.a

Morning Joan, I remember you saying about that. I did the same, Neil ended up getting a saw to one of them but even that one has three spikes. I'm amazed. I'm sure we will both have amazing displays next year 💙 @joanboston

Morning Jane. I split a customer's huge Agapanthus earlier this year, I took 2 pieces away. Both are full of buds but a little bit later to flower! Can't wait as I love them, and a bonus as they were a freebie 😊👍💙💙💙

Morning Lynda, I love them too, they're so ethereal and freebies are always a bonus 💙💙💙

Morning Jane ☕🌹

Morning Jane 👋 Have a lovely day...the sun is out. Yippe! 😊

Morning Jane, I bought one of these a couple of years ago hoping it was blue, but it's white 🙄🙂💙

Wow, I was so not expecting to see this. I have a flower stalk on my agapanthus. I split it at the beginning of March and didn’t think it would flower this year 💙

Brilliant! Makes you small inside when you come across a plant that you think you’ll have to wait to see flower

I split mine but no flowers so far 🤞

It really does Caroline, it's so heartening 💙 @Cazx

These were really badly pot bound Elise, Neil had to get a saw to them, it was brutal!!! That's why I wasn't expecting anything, I hope I get a few more 💙 @auricula

This is all I've got at the moment, it would be nice if I got a few more Sue. I hope yours gets some soon 👍 Would you like some Sticky Catchfly seeds, I remembered to collect some this year and I know you commented on my plant a few weeks ago? 🤔 @suerichards

Wonderful! Lucky you 💜💜no sign of any buds on mine unless anything's happened since I was last out

Thanks Christine, you never know, this seemed to appear out of nowhere 👍💙 @midnightgardener

@pelly If you're feeding it with your miracle Grow more maybe that's helped. Exciting I look forward to seeing yours in bloom. I'll keep watch on mine 💜💜

Not me with Miracle Grow, I use blood fish and bone, much cheaper and just as efficient Christine. I hope yours appear soon 😊 @midnightgardener

Exciting 💜💙 I can’t wait for mine to bloom too 😁

They are such beautiful plants 💙 @sabbanrula

Oh dear, I decided to start splitting and re-potting my Agapanthus today. I broke my scissors in the process and Neil had to get his saw to cut through it!! I now have two plants..........if they survive the rough treatment they have had. Just three more to do 😱 #agapanthus #african-lily

Oh my goodness! They do say that they like to be pot bound...

😂😂😂 some of the roots were as thick as my little finger @awomanonabike

Amazing how many roots they produce! Now you can see why it took us awhile to get it out of the pot!😁

Geoff absolutely destroyed my agapanthus trying to get it out of a lovely big blue pot! I’ve potted up a couple of pieces that survived but I’m not optimistic. It was just a solid mass😂

Definitely not the easiest of jobs Katy @gjones 🙄😂

I wasn’t expecting it to be easy, but I didn’t think it would be that bad. I’ve left the others for another day Joan. Let’s hope ours all survive @joanboston 🤞🤞🤞

You’re not kidding Elise @auricula 😂😂😂

@pelly I did the same to one last year & it survived!

Glad to hear it, I’ve got my fingers crossed Deborah @jerseylily 🤞🤞🤞

Fingers crossed it survives. I need to plant mine out but I hope they might flower this time! I've had the silly things about a year and a half now 🙄💜💜

Thanks Christine. Mine flowered in their third year @midnightgardener 👍

One solitary flower out of four of these. Better than none though #agapanthus #african-lily #blue 8/8/19

I was disappointed with mine Twin @pelly only 4 on it this year 🤔😘

It's very pretty!💙 even if there's only one!

I’m going to go up a pot size I think. I know they like their roots to be constricted but they look really tight now. I hope that will do the trick for next year @jadojado29 💙😘

You’re right Katy, it’s disappointing though @gjones 💙😟

Gutted, only one flower out of all four plants. They all flowered for the first time last year #agapanthus #agapanthus-africanlillyblue 19/7/19 😞💙

I’m moving mine Twin @pelly back into a pot after it’s flowered, has only got 4 flowers on it which is disappointing, had more when it was in a pot 👍😘

Mine are in pots already, maybe they need moving on a size @jadojado29 🤔😘

They like to be quite tight in the pot Jane, maybe down a size?😂

I’d never get them in a smaller pot Joan, the roots are well constricted, that’s why I was wondering if they were too tightly packed now? @joanboston 🤔🤔

That’s why I’m moving mine Twin @pelly the roots are not restricted in the garden , so was wondering if that’s why they were under performing 🤔😘

Mine were in the ground and I was advised by someone on here to put them in pots for that reason, so yes, I would pot them up Suzie @jadojado29 👍😘

Last year only had a few flowers so in the spring I tried every which way to get them out of the pot but they would not budge! This year I’ve got 20 flowers coming😂😂

Maybe I’ll just leave it and see what happens next year then @joanboston 👍😍

#bestof2018

You're not kidding💙

Stunning photo.

And to think you were threatening to bin it earlier in the year!

Thank you Kim and John @kimguy @johninbrighton 💙💙

I know Nicola, I need to learn to be more patient @jendren 🙄😂

Welcome Jane!😎💜

Have a fantastic #flashbackfriday everyone 💙💙

That was beautiful💙

Morning Jane, that was a lovely blue 💙💙💙

It was Katy and I’ve got Twister to look forward to next year.......if it flowers @gjones 💙💙

Morning Ange, they’re beautiful flowers @anges 💙💙

Morning Jane ...can’t wait to see them again 💙💙💙

Morning Julie, me neither @juliesgarden 💙💙

Morning Jane, stunning blue

Morning Jeremy, thank you @jpea 💙💙

Morning Jane, great blue, great plants.

Morning Twin @pelly Love Agapanthus, Beautiful Blue on this one 💙. Hope your day is a good one 😘

💙💙💙

#throwbackthursday #agapanthus-africanlillyblue #blue #summer18

Beautiful!

Oh my this is so pretty Jane!💜💜💘😍

That's just beautiful!! I hope mine flowers next year ☺☺💜💜

Thank you Katy and Shelley @gjones @ShelleySnyder 💙💙

Thank you Christine, I got my first flowers this year @midnightgardener 👍💙

What a fantastic photo. Absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you kindly John @johninbrighton How is your new garden going? 🤔🤔

@pelly my new garden is coming along slowly, as I have jobs to do indoors . Hopefully this coming weekend I'll make the effort to plant up some bulbs, and do some more tidying. Everything that I think will take me about an hour ends up taking me all morning ! That's probably why we gardeners love gardening so much .

Good to hear it’s coming on and I know just what you mean @johninbrighton 😂😂

@pelly Fantastic Jane!!☺☺What a lovely surprise I hope I get the same next year. I love the flower and colour 💜💜

So very welcome Jane!💘😍

Well I wanted rain, and I got it in bucket loads, we have had four torrential downpours today and it’s rained on and off nearly all day. Thank you Mother Nature 💦💦💦

It's been the same here today Jane hopefully lots of sunshine tomorrow 😄

👏👏👏👏💘😍

Amazing photo Jane @pelly

We’ve just had another Jan but that would be great for tomorrow as it’s my day off and I’ve got so many plants waiting to go in!! @janric 🤞🤞🤞

Oh yes Shelley, today alone must have made up for the last few weeks @ShelleySnyder 😂😂😘

Thanks Sue, there are some plants that look beautiful with rain on them @suerichards 💜💦

I got a very little rain here on Saturday but none is predicted for at least two weeks, at least yours watered Plants!💘😍

Yes, at long last Shelley, I hope it's not too long before you get some @ShelleySnyder 💦💦💦

👍👍👍🌧🌧🌧😊😊

Me too! But then I have to hope it doesn't rain till next April!😂😂💘😍

@pelly great photo ☺

Oh your ahead of mine Jane...still waiting ....tapping fingers 😂😂😂

Beautiful 👌

Beautiful 💙💙

Gorgeous Jane, must look at mine

Morning Jane 😀

Morning Chris, thank you @christineb 💙💙💙

Morning Pauline, I didn’t realise they only had a short flowering time as this is the first time they’ve flowered. I’ll have to make the most of them whilst they are here @flof1952 💙💙💙

Ohh, hopefully they won’t be too long Jo, I’ll tap mine too for you @hobnob 👐🤲🤲

Thank you Sue @suerichards 😍😍😍

So excited to see this, it’s the first time it’s flowered 💙💙

Mine are on their way too Jane ....so many buds this year 👌☺

I’ve only got one flower on each of the four plants, but as it’s the first time I’m happy with that Pauline @flof1952 💙💙

Looks like it’s going to be gorgeous

Think it's going to be a pretty one!

Don't blame you that is lovely!💖

Morning again Jason, hopefully yours won't be long @Jasonsparkes1 😊😊

I hope so Clare, thanks @clare2611 😊😊

Fingers crossed Katy @gjones 😍😍

Thank you Sylvia @SylviaDavies 😘😍

Morning Jane again, scrolling backwards haha , lovely 😊

👌📸👌

Oh my, I have a bud. These didn’t flower last year so I took Angie’s @angiecrazycatlady advice and put them in pots and sunk them in the soil. They still didn’t seem happy so I took the pots out and put them on the gravelled area just over a week ago thinking I would end up discarding them, thank goodness I didn’t 💙💙

Some plants will skip a year or so blooming sometimes. I had a Lilly do that but man when it did bloom it was fab and it produced babies as well.cant wait to see yours flower xo

Neither can I Cyndi, I didn't really expectin

Neither can I Cyndi, I didn't really expect them to flower last year as they were relatively new (October the previous year) so I'm so excited @cyndi 💙💙

Xoxo

Well done Jane! Worth the wait😀

Thanks Joan @joanboston 😍😘

Always worth the wait, just don’t snap one off like I did 😢

😱😱 @Hayley.R

Oh your doing better them me them because mine are looking a bit pathetic so far. Glad it worked for you 😁

Oh, I hope they perk up for you Angie, and thanks again for the advice @angiecrazycatlady 😘👍

Morning everyone, this was taken yesterday afternoon in the little bit of snow we had. Have a marvellous Monday all. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Have a great day Jane!!

Same to you Jane!!💘😍
