The more common name for this flower is Agapanthus. It comes from the Greek agap, meaning love, and anthos, meaning flower, translating broadly as the flower of love. Agapanthus is also commonly known as the Lily of the Nile, African Blue Lily, and African Lily. The genus, Agapanthus includes about 10 species. Agapanthus flowers bloom in large, round clusters or umbels of blue, white or violet-blue. The funnel shaped Agapanthus flowers grow at the end of a thick 2 to 4 foot tall stem. The Agapanthus clusters measure about 6 to 8 inches across. Enjoy and have a nice weekend!!!!

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Laura, the agapanthus is a very familiar flower to me as I have a big plant in my garden.
I like your capture very much as you've depicted the flowers in a very special way. To me a perfect Foofy Friday image.
My compliments! Very well done my friend!

Life is a Constant Audition
I really like the shadows on this one Laura. I can imagine your Lily dancing and swaying in the wind.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
The shadows are an added bonus to this excellent image Laura - the presentation is lovely.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
Love the delicate shade of these flowers against the pastel wall and also the wonderful shadows cast...lovely shot.

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. -- Philip K. Dick, Valis
Laura - Lots of good photography elements - the background contrast with the subject, lighting, point of view angle, colors and clarity... Terrific work!
