I was searching through my photos for a good shot of Bomarea hirtella and came across this shot of Agapanthus inapertus, a seedling I recently bloomed. I am particularly taken by the drooping blossoms and have started another batch of seedlings as well as adding a new Dutch cultivar with very deep blue blossoms. Unfortunately I did not photograph this plant before the rains damaged the flowers. Next year, I promise.

A. inapertus is currently enjoying popularity in Europe and many new selcections are poised for mass introduction in the next few years. As far as I know, this species always blooms very late in the season, typically in the Autumn.
