Yes...it's bloomin' time here at COASTAL CHARM! Last Spring I planted several agapanthus plants in our new and improved flowerbeds in the front yard...and I love how they look. I was so ready for a complete makeover for these flowerbeds and I knew that I wanted lots of agapanthus plants...love the statement that they make and my neighbors agree...several of them decided to add a few to their own beds! Since the plants are out in the front yard, I don't get to view them as much as I would like...sooooo...my solution was to plant some near my screen porch...now your talkin'! I spend lots of time here in my screen porch (it's my favorite room)...a post about this room is coming soon!
After a very COLD winter here on the coast, some of our tropical plants seemed to be dead, but thank goodness...they are still alive and growing!
Oh how pretty. I had some when we lived in MS. They were so great. I should get some again for this house!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Gardens Linda:) Have a great weekend...hope you have something to link up tomorrow for my Garage Salen party...I will have the link up in the morning:) Going out early myself tomorrow to see what junk I could find....love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. If we only had your gorgeous white sand for our Beach Music festival, we would be set!!! Love your beautiful plants. I would like to have some of those for my yard. I am going to check on getting some. Wondering if they come up from bulbs. Have a great weekend. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and they are all coming back real nice! I need mulch!!! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty and thank goodness your tropical plants bounced back. Just GORGEOUS!!

Oh, how I miss those flowers from our days of living in California where they grew so beautifully. All that color. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over those tropical plants outside at your place! We just had major wind storms blowing branches down everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous plant! Love the flowers on it. I think I would love to add one to my garden. thanks Linda for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Linda! I can't wait to et out and do some planting this weekend. I am in the need to ee some beautiufl colors out in the flower beds!

They are lovely, I really like that blue, not sure we have them here, I do have plenty in bloom though, thanks for the photos, Hugs Barbara
ReplyDeleteI've seen those plants before, but never knew what they were called. They are so impressive and I can understand why you'd want to plant more and have them within easy viewing range. Love the color!
ReplyDeletelove agapanthus, they remind me of Africa where I grew up, the streets would be lined with them. Don't see them up north where I live, too cold I guess! Thanks for the photos!

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI love how your garden looks, it's so lovely and fresh. Makes me want to go out and dig mine up and start all over again. Seems like everything I put out there looks good for a few weeks and then looks awful! No green thumb for me.
Can't wait to see your porch!
hugs

The agapanthus plants are beautiful! I've always liked them - they are used a great deal out here in California.

Our apaganthus is just beginning to bloom here in Central Florida! So happy I came upon your post about them, since I didn't know what they were. We just moved here in December, so thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Thanks for joining me-through Shaunna's...I love your agapanthus flowers!!! My Mom bought some for me to plant this year-they are so beautiful!!!! And you are right, we took photos at our day on the Alabama beaches-they are OIL FREE! I posted them for everyone to see!! Debbie Park
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Be blessed. Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, Thanks for visiting my blog! When you are in Santa Monica, there is a flea market/farmers market I believe every Sunday. There are a lot of shops there. What I did was got a phone book when I got there. I believe Rachelle Ashwell has a shop there too. I wish I would have had more time to check out her store! Have a great time! Marcia

What beautiful blossoms! It's wonderful to be able to enjoy the outdoors!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you linked this post to Woo Hoo! Wednesday to share all the beautiful agapanthus. It's especially great for me today since its been yet another rainy gray day here in Oregon and I'm so in need of great flowers :)
ReplyDeleteI love agapanthus but haven't had much luck growing them. Maybe it's time to try again? Love your pics, hope my garden is blooming and pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I admire everyone who can grow a beautiful garden!
ReplyDeleteYour plants and flowers all look gorgeous Linda. I'm so happy spring is finally here!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad they survived! You'll have a beautiful summer!! Thanks for linking!
ReplyDeleteI think those are one of my favorite flowers. Good idea to plant some where you can see them too.
