Wow, I didn’t realise Camerons had such gorgeous flowers! Last time I was there was almost 10 years ago – definitely time for a visit. Thank you for the loveliness.
hi sharon.
this photo was taken in the hillbrow bungalow well-tended garden. the gardener must’ve been inspired by samwise gamgee then.. 😉
thanks for your lovely comments!
Stunning. I love it. Almost looks 3-d to me!
hi cindy, the flower really caught my eyes and it is photogenic as well 🙂 thanks!
Beautiful! Perfect yellow background compliments the violet color!
thanks, tracy. your kind words made me so happy!
Very nice composition and I love the depth of field you used!

Beautiful. I have lots of photos of these, but none so beautiful as this one. 🙂
george, it was an old photo. the lighting and the backdrop were just right for it. thanks :D.
Not surprisingly, as I’m in the midst of getting a garden of *my own* underway at our house, now that we’re settled in, I’m especially attracted to lovely flower and plant shots. I like that you captured the sleek bud stage of the agapanthus, which is dramatic but in a much subtler way than in full bloom.
hi kathryn,
i’m glad to hear that you’ve finally settled in. good luck in designing you dream garden. i’m sure it’ll contribute and inspire you for many more lovely paintings and engaging writings. looking forward for you blog post(s) on that soon!
regards nizam.
We used to have many of these lovely agapanthus in our garden. Our Doberman used to wait for the flowers to appear and then bite them off. Luckily he didn’t have access to the whole garden. 😉 Lovely photo, nizam
haha too bad for your dog. with all the fresh colours i think it must taste at least a bit sweet? 🙂 thanks ad.
