- Let's talk about our gardens. Let's talk about all the flowers and critters that thrive within the confines of our personal paradises. Let's talk about those we love and love us back, although once in a while they scratch us and make us bleed a little. Just to remind us that we are alive. Those roses and cats and people that thrive in our gardens... How important... How important they are...
Carmen, The blue flowers in the picture above are known as Agapanthus or Lily of the Nile in the US (even though they are not lilies. I don't know where they may be known as Panthenotis, maybe South Africa? Rene Torres
