Agapantha

This is an Agapantha year in our region. The buggers are everywhere. Willful plants, will not grow from selected seeds but self-seed everywhere. 16 with fully open seed pods in our front yard. Not that I dislike them, far from it, but the word "Triffid" springs to mind: mustn't watch the next meteorite shower.
