Agapanthus and "Visitor".

These are called freeway plants here in No. California.

Great in borders, easy to grow. Multiply freely!

These grow so easily!

Lily of the Nile; Seed pods and seeds. Pods form on the tall stalks when flowers fade; these have been cut short so they can be dried inside so seeds aren't lost / blown by the wind.


Look at all the seed pods!!! And that is just from one bloom.
