Agapanthus Opening

This afternoon I went out into my backyard and saw that one of the agapanthus pods was opening.

agapanthus scapes, pods, bracts, flowersHere is a picture from yesterday. You can see that I have four large scapes. I am not sure why there are only four. Perhaps it is because I have never divided up the plant. I don’t think I had too many scapes last year either. I may have to check my pictures to see.

I am looking forward to some beautiful flowers.

Metropolitan Cathedral. old stairs, worn stairs, Mexico CityI am also thinking of these well worn steps I saw while climbing to the top of the Metropolitan Cathedral. We were not allowed to climb these stairs, but followed another route to the roof.

A lot of memories as I prepare for my webinar tomorrow.
