I love this time of year! The street is coloured with Jacarandas in bloom and our first Aggies have just popped their buds.

Christmas, soon!

not our own but similar

not our street but similar mix of colours!

They are considered a weed in some areas. Years ago council sent us all letters stating this and asking we remove them

The agapanthus grow well around here.. tough enough to survive the salt laden winds.

I love the Jacaranda trees also, although there is not that many where I live. In Wollongong there is Jacaranda Ave which is beautiful when they are flowering.

i don't like agapanthus. i know why people plant it but i prefer dianellas with their fairy-like flowers. they are tough too and native.

My mum always called them Stars of Bethlehem, because they came out at Christmas.

anyone else heard this name?

I've heard them called that but not recently.

That's funny because the councils have put aggies on all of the round abouts

Beautiful photos Icy, some of mine are about to flower we have white and blue, I find it odd that my agapanthers in the shade are starting to flower but the ones in full sun don't even have stems yet I would have thought it would be the other way around. We also have a jacaranda in our garden but no flame tree I wish we did they look so beautiful together.
