Agapanthus

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 🤞🤞🤞

Tough blighters for something so delicate to look at 😊

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 🙄💜💜

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 👍😍

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!😂😂💘😍

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 💙💙

Morning Jane ☕ No buds on mine yet

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. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️
