The flower of love
In full bloom – agapanthus
Embraces summer
❤
What a gorgeous, sunny day in Sydney for the first day of summer in Oz! Even more appreciated after stormy weather, torrential rain and flooding in my neighbourhood only three days ago.
Yesterday was a fine day, too, and I took these photos of agapanthus in my neighbours’ gardens. I looked up “agapanthus” on Google, and for the first time learnt that its name is derived from Greek agape, love, and anthos, flower, hence my haiku for the first day of summer.
Peek a boo!
Soaking up the sun…
Feeling great as I am, in no hurry to grow up!
❤
Wishing you all a happy weekend filled with love and the warmth of the sun or the cosy fireplace! 😊

Stunning flowers.
Indeed. Thanks for paying them a compliment.
I have them in my yard and love them too…but our seasons are opposite here in
California.
Great ! I have them in my garden too, but there isn’t enough sunshine for them, so they bloom later in the month.
So very stunning beautiful! Thank you for the Haiku, the bouquets of loveliness and the background info
Thank you very much for appreciating the whole post. I always learn something new on Google.
Bonjour mon AMIE IRINAS
Ce jour
je regarde le ciel et je pense
je m’évade et m’envole dans le plus grand silence
voir un monde meilleur
Je rêve, je m’imagine que le bonheur est
sans challenge,ni concurrence,ni vainqueur,ni vaincu
Voir tout le monde avec le sourire
Regarder les enfants , courir , sauter , s’amuser ,
en cette période de Noel tout est beau
Aimer toujours aimer quoi de plus beau
sans le dire on peut le montrer , quel joli cadeau
Je passe te souhaiter une bonne de journée ou soirée
Gros bisous . Bernard
Merci de ton passage, cher Bernard. Merci pour tes beaux mots.
Je te souhaite une bonne journée ou soirée. Bisous, Irina
I too have them in my garden, my husband planted them… A rare act of gardening on his part.
That was very nice of him. 🙂
