Alluring Agapanthus - African Lily

Popping up in Borders during July and August the Agapanthus (African Lily) has soaring stems topped by rounded flowers made up of trumpet-shaped blooms.  These are one of my favourite summer flowers. 
They're easy to grow if you have a sunny spot in your garden and they do thrive in pots if cared for properly.
The flower stems make a dramatic addition to any flower arrangement.
