I have beautiful Crape Myrtles to share with You. These trees are the great highlight of my Summer Garden.
In Nature, daily life is a combination of good news and bad news. Today the Crapes are splendid. Also today the Life of Baby Buzz ended. He was hit by a truck and died on the road. The reason the buzzards are here is for food which is plentiful. Every night many country wild animals are killed on country roads, either by accident are targeted. I understand the accidents. I would like You to help me raise awareness to the intentional targeting of wild animals and birds by the crazy punks. This human behavior needs to be stopped. Please, Educate yours and others children. These animals live here, too.
Thank You and I am sorry to share sad news.

Agapanthus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agapanthus /ˌæɡəˈpænθəs/[1] is the only genus in the subfamily Agapanthoideae of the flowering plant familyAmaryllidaceae.[2] The family is in the monocot order Asparagales. The name is derived from scientific Greek: αγάπη (agape) = love, άνθος (anthos) = flower.
Some species of Agapanthus are commonly known as lily of the Nile (or African lily in the UK), although they are not liliesand all of the species are native to South Africa, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Limpopo River.[3]
Species boundaries are not clear in the genus, and in spite of having been intensively studied, the number of species recognized by different authorities varies from 6 to 10. The type species for the genus is Agapanthus africanus.[4] A great many hybrids and cultivars have been produced and they are cultivated throughout warm areas of the world.[5] Most of these were described in a book published in 2004.[6]

Description[edit]
Agapanthus is a genus of herbaceous perennials that mostly bloom in summer. The leaves are basal and curved, linear, and up to 60 cm (24 in) long. They are arranged in two rows.
The inflorescence is a pseudo-umbel subtended by two large bracts at the apex of a long, erect scape, up to 2 m (6.6 ft) tall. They have funnel-shaped flowers, in hues of blue to purple, shading to white. Some hybrids and cultivars have colors not found in wild plants. The ovary is superior. The style is hollow. Agapanthus does not have the distinctive chemistry of Alliaceae.
Cultivation[edit|edit source]
Agapanthus africanus can be grown within USDA plant hardiness zones 9 to 11. In lower-numbered zones, the bulbs should be placed deeper in the soil and mulched well in the fall. Agapanthus can be propagated by dividing the bulbs or by seeds. The seeds of most varieties are fertile.
Several hundred cultivars and hybrids are cultivated as garden and landscape plants. Several are winter-hardy to USDA Zone 7. Two cultivars have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, A. campanulatus subsp. patens,[15] and 'Loch Hope'.[16]
THE SAD STORY
...this is brendasue signing off from Rainbow Creek. See You next time! I hope you are enjoying the colorful tour of the Bird Sanctuary's summer flowers and trees. If You can plant something, You should! It is good to get to know plants on a personal basis. They will talk to You!
Fat Sissy is telling Rascal Roo it is time for dinner-so I will see You later-
