The agapanthus is synonymous with summer in Melbourne. They are majestic plants and you see them in starbursts of white or purple, their massive heads held on slender stalks as high as a man's waist. At the base of each plant is a rich cluster of verdant green and they are so hardy that you can literally dig one up, cut it in half and each will continue to grow and thrive. But most of the blooms are gone now. I saw this one a few days ago, with the last tattered remnants in the dappled sunlight - and I had to get the camera out immediately.

Hi chele76,
Thank you for dropping by and taking the trouble to leave a comment.
As soon as I saw the scene, the contrast of colours was great and the light was just right.
Glad you liked the shot. Hope you visit this site again.
Cheers
David
Hi kathb,
That is a huge compliment and a very generous one.
I guess I just stop and photograph most of the scenes that some people just take for granted.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment.
Cheers
David
