Things might be getting a bit hot and frizzled out there
Things are getting past their prime – the ‘look at me’ factor is not working anymore
People just pass by oblivious to the beauty that once was
But have no fear – the blues are back in town
Sometimes Faded, Never Jaded,
With the occasional leaf burnt to a crisp
Love ’em or Loathe em – you definitely can’t miss ’em
They are the sign of Summer in Melbourne
They are of course the Big Blue Blooms of Agapanthus
Still Waters 
Thank you for the flowers of summer.

They are here too – with the occasional white one, which I don’t *(yet) have in our garden.

I love aggies. I know some consider them a noxious weed but they are everywhere around here – even in council plantings. A friend gave me some from her garden. We put them in a bed until we got around to digging their proper spot. They are still in that bed. She died suddenly in 2020 and every time I get out of the car I pat their beautiful blue heads and remember Andrea.

I love these too and they’re perfect for holding the soil on our steep banks.

Yes, I’ve found my own ‘look at me’ factor has waned, if not disappeared altogether.
Aggies must bloom a little later in ‘dem ‘dere foothills. Around here they are pretty well finishing up now, although white seem to hold on a bit longer.
The was a nice strip of them in the centre of Bay Street, Port Melbourne and council workers trimmed the leaves back and cut all the blooms off at their peak.

I love agapanthus and have tried to get some to grow here. I thought they would thrive but Piraeus seems to be really too frizzled for them come the hottest driest part of summer.

They’re gorgeous! My husband always calls them blue lilies.
