Agapanthus II
‘Agapanthus II’
Pictured is a specimen of the purple flowered agapanthus variant.
It grows like a weed in the drier areas of New Zealand and the flowers (white also) are absolutely everywhere in summer.
None of the rose’s nobility and romance, but definitely not so high maintenance and just as beautiful in my eyes!

Red Hot Poker
‘Red Hot Poker’
That really is the name of this flowering plant, or one of its names at least.
Very apt, for this harbinger of summer down south.

White Rose Purity
‘White Rose Purity’Â
I know what a white rose is supposed to symbolise, but purity would have to be the most elusive human quality of them all. It is certainly aspirational though.
The white rose also means ‘new beginnings’. That might be a bit more relatable, given that our lives are a succession of endings and fresh starts, whether we plan them or not.
So then, take your pick – just don’t get pricked…
