summer garden ..... agapantha blue

summer in my garden and all is lush and verdant… rainbow lorikeets feasting on foliage outside my window and the sound of the surf a block or two from my back door while a little cloud drifts over the cliffs in front of me…..so I’ve been working on some images of the somewhat more mundane blooms around me at the moment…. like the humble agapantha in bloom everywhere at the moment….such a common plant and yet it is a truely extraordinary thing…. the circular head of the plant is a ball of tiny bell shaped blossoms in either white or mauve and they stand proud about a metre tall from the strappy dark green leaves at the base of the plant….

compared to some of the more extragant foliage in bloom at the moment it may seem perverse to focus on such an common and unremarkable flower but I want to try and present it as something elegant and lovely…..

    Well done its beautiful JP! I love these flowers they remind me of my childhood and I don’t see them here in the topend.

    hi Jules… yes they are so common around here that we forget how amazing they are…. I guess that single ball of tiny blooms is really just one single flower really…. one bloom per plant….so glad this has happy memories for you

    I’ve always considered agapanthus to be an elegant flower, and am especially fond of the lush green foliage.
    I really like how you have done these juilee.

  • Juilee Pryor replied

    hi Cathryn and I agree… it is elegant ….odd mind… a bit of a dinosaour plant somehow and really easily disregared in comparison to some of the showier native plants around but I like a challenge and I’ve got a few of these…. I’m trying to present them as if I’ve never seen one before and can’t really work it out…. whatever…. I’m really glad you like this…. :)
