Agapanthus

#tuesdaychoice #blue 💙

That’s lovely 💙💙

And after a tidy up and feed.

Big improvement

Indeed Joan. I’ve two and they both looked sad when I uncovered them. But they’ll spring back 😁 @joannie.a

Lovely, think I've lost all mine☹️

Hope not Celina. Wait and see 🤞🏻 @cee

I think I've lost mine too. Usually store them in a small wooden frame but it broke last year. So they stayed outside. The evergreen variants foliage all died back and no signs of life 💔 hoping the other ones that usually die back anyway come back. When should I start to expect to see signs of life?

Oh dear. That’s not good. My evergreen ones stay outside all year but I put fleece on them in the winter. I think you should see shoots from now on. Monty always says if you think you’ve lost a plant leave it got a full year before throwing it out. They can surprise you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 @Ryan180680

Agapanthus after removing winter fleece jacket.

Spectacular flower

Beautiful flowers.

I think these agapanthus have liked being split after they broke their pot last year. These blooms are bigger than my head!

I can see you!!

A great African lily. Lovely photo with yourself behind.

I have to split mine this year. Another job to be done.

And my reward! 💙. Teamed with lysimachia 💛

Very pretty 💙💙💛💛

Well four hours later the agapanthus is out of the pot 🥵. Sawn literally- into chunks. Leaving it to callous overnight before potting on to prevent rot. What a job! Lesson learned.

Could you not have picked a hotter day....😆

It needed to be done Nicola it'll be worth it in the end

Worth the work and just think of all the exta plants.

Well done...time for a long cool drink! 🥵

Thank you Joan and Angela. Pot seems to have mended so hope to replant some of it tomorrow @joannie.a @italydiva @alan1111

That’s good news 😊

Whoops. Think this needs repotted.

I had that happen earlier in the year. Good luck 😱💪💪😂

It’s so annoying Jane. It’s a huge pot. Fortunately it’s a clean break so I’m going to try to repair it. I knew it needed repotted but was hoping to do it at the end of the summer @pelly

I think it was trying to tell you something 🤔😂

Good idea trying to repair it nicola

I’ve got the message -the hard way Jane 🤣 @pelly

Hopefully it will mend Akan. I’ve had that pot for years -it was a present -and would cost a fortune to replace 🤞🏻 @alan1111

Monty said that when agapanthus breaks a pot is the best time to repot it, not earlier. 👍😊

You can only do your best they are crazy expensive

Oh dear...good luck with the repair!

Thank you Urszula for cheering me up. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. Hope alls going well at the new house. @ublaszko

You're welcome 💞💞 Yes, the new house turned up at the right time for us. And we've discovered we have a hedgehog 🦔😍 Just one so far but Pudgy's Bar is open 😄😄 Fresh biscuits and chicken in jelly every day 👍😉

Two for the price of one! I’ve never seen two flower heads coming off one stem 🤍

Just starting to open 💙. You can see the white one in the background getting ready to pop too

Stunning! 💜💜💜

These are so beautiful Nicola 💙💙

#agapanthus

My husband told me to chuck them out because ‘ they sit there all year taking up a huge pot doing nothing’. Men! @pelly

They just don't have a clue do they 😂😂

They are beautiful

Harry is counting the blue agapanthus flower stalks. 12 so far. I knew he was smart but didn’t realise he could count!

Clever boy, pets are just awesome so clever 😍

Who’s a clever boy then.....😉

🐶💙

Aww bless 😍😍

Beautiful garden Nicola

Thanks Alan! @alan1111

Agapanthus blooms dwarfing my hand span. Best year ever 💙

You have a very petite hand Nicola 😉😁 Lovely bloom!

I do Urszula but these flower heads are the biggest they’ve ever been. Enjoy your day @ublaszko

Oh heck what a beaut....💙

What a fab colour.

Lovely example!

I couldn’t believe my eyes. My agapanthus have been looking terrible in the cold and I was having a poke - professional gardening term! - and I found two flower stalks. One decidedly healthier than the other but still amazing 😃 @lovemygarden65

Wow, she says running off to check hers...............🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ no nothing 👎😂😂

I’m kind of stunned myself Jane as I only got one flower stalk all last year! @pelly Doubt they will come to much if this cold weather continues.

Finger crossed. Mine didn’t flower at all last year, I’m hoping for better this year 💙💙

Fingers crossed for you too Jane @pelly 🤞🏻💙🤞🏻💙

The only thing I found on mine was a #lilybeetle which has now gone off to rainbow bridge! 😊

Just home but will check tomorrow Nicola , glad yours is waking up @jendren 👍👍👍

I’d have thought it was too early for it to wake up Marilyn. Despite those flower stalks the leaves are an awful colour - more yellow than green. Hope it’s not on it’s way out and having a last hurrah 😬 @lovemygarden65

Wow that's impressive already. Mine look sickly yellow

Yes Julie. The leaves on mine are pretty yellow too. So I cut off the yellow bits - don’t know if you’re meant to do this ! - gave it some fish blood and bone and topped up the compost. So I can’t do much more. It’s up to it now! @vec

I do the same but haven't got round to it yet .... need some dry sunny weather to get onto the borders 🤔
