All I know is that you've captured it beautifully, Heather! #9592342

Heather, I love the rich blue color, and the clarity and dof are excellent.
This looks like another version of Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile). Your plant has much smaller blossoms, but Wikipedia says there are some smaller species of Agapanthus...
Maybe someone else can yay or nay that. #9592346

I used to grow something similar at the last house but the blooms are different...The comical part is that I can't remember what THEY were called either! Lol...Ah, to be OLDER.

Sure a pretty portrait you did of this one however! :)))

When I hear the word Nile, It reminds me of the Pharaoh time that is related to Royalty. This floral looks so majectically royal with the purplish blue hues and colors that you have rendered so skillfully here. Love Mary's Lily that is so delightful also. #9596333
