Agapanthus

 

These are some flower stalks of Agapanthus in a bed in front of Olive Garden in Opelika,AL. If they had set seed, which these did not, the pods would be on the ends of the sputnik branches. The flowers are usually blue but sometimes white and last a long time either on the plant or in arrangements. For several years I grew Agapanthus in the greenhouse and the bloom stalks would be 3 or 4 feet tall. Finally, in a space crucnh in the greenhouse, I put them in the ground. they have survived and bloomed, but a only a shadow of their former selves. I guess they would have benefitted from better soil.
