Just had to take some photos of the flowers as I walked down St Piran's Way - still some beautiful Winter/Spring Iris in flower
and in the same garden this beautiful blue Rosemary
I actually did a double-take as I passed this Agapanthus flower - it's not huge, but I've never seen one flower this early in the year
I suppose the Agapanthus really do hate hard frost - which you've had in abundance ! Even our Arum Lilly leaves have survived so far - the first couple of years we were here they flowered in January - no signs of flower buds yet ! Sue
Lovely blue flowers today. The Iris is a favourite and I wish I had the deeper blue Rosemary. It looks much prettier than the light blue. Strange to see the Agapanthus flowering on it's own. Usually mid-summer flowering here. I love the Aubretia you showed recently. Thanks for sharing these lovely flower photos.
A while ago I took a piece of the lovely blue Rosemary (with Joyce's permission of course !) and managed to get it to root, but sadly it didn't thrive - must try again. As for the Agapanthus - it's a very mature clump and possibly the flower was forming last Autumn and stopped until it warmed up a bit - although it certainly wasn't warm today !.
Unfortunately all mine haven't survived the winter,some of them we bought in the eighties.Will have to buy more in June!As you say very early.macca.
