Re: Agapanthus


Oh, that's lovely, Mags! Is that two plants or does it have more than one bloom stalk? Mine just has the one, but this is it's first year......

I originally had one tuber that spread quite a bit so I divided it earlier this year into 5 or 6 pieces. These blooms came from two of separate pieces....... and I'm surprised it had done so well after the mutilation I gave it!

I sent a couple of pieces up to Moli and am pleased to hear she has two blooms also.....can't wait to see them!

Re: Agapanthus


You do have a green thumb! I divided my yellow amaryllis this Winter; it had 4 offshoot bulbs crowding the pot; mother plant has bloomed but not the babies yet.......they are outdoors with the others enjoying the lovely weather.

Re: Agapanthus


Is that what it's called??? I've always called it an onion plant

Mine's purple rather than white and was starting to take over the whole garden so I dug it up and potted it and put it in the basement window well. It's doing great despite being neglected and not watered and is just starting to burst into flower too

Do you think yours might be an allium, Yola? They do come in purple and actually are ornamental flowering onions...
