Agapanthus.

I have rediscovered a love of painting flowers this summer. I suppose that it was an inevitable progression to finally painting the flower of love. At least, I am told that the Latin name means "love flower", so who am I to argue. Certainly the hillsides and berms of Nelson and Stoke are a blaze of blue, shimmering in the sun. I find them quite intimidating as a subject when growing en mass, but when I got home this afternoon I was delighted to find these three flower heads growing in shady solitude nearby.
