Agapanthus.. Blue blossoms so hard to find. Not much luck in sultry New Jersey, but these were everywhere in Johannesburg, South Africa. Johannesburg is as high as Denver, so I'm wondering if that thinner air would make a difference compared to our unbearably hot and humid summers. Or maybe it's the longer growing season there. The flower vendors in the Dominican Republic call agapanthus Lirio-panty. Panty-lilies, that's something anyone will remember. They are grown in the hills of Jarabacoa and Constanza, so again, lighter air, nicer temperatures.

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...
