Agapanthus

The agapanthus bloom in prime of summer In flowers of blue though on some occasions white In rural and even suburban gardens They are what you might call a common sight. The agapanthus are native to South Africa Though by man they have been introduced elsewhere And though classified as a weed now in Australia Their flowering beauty seems beyond compare. Some people dig agapanthus from their gardens And others with poisons their green foliage destroy But the agapanthus have roots that are deep and hardy And they grow again for they do not easily die. But some gardeners they love their agapanthus What to one is a flower to another is a weed And of all the plants and flowers that bloom in summer The agapanthus one of the hardier breed.
