Agapanthus (a.k.a. Lilly of the Nile)

This beautiful blue flower is the AG-A-PAN-THUS... otherwise known as the "Lilly of the Nile". I first encountered these exotic looking blooms at Sea Island. My sister and I were taking a bike ride, and she pointed them out. My sister is an avid gardener and knew the correct name (agapanthus). I had to practice a few times before I could pronounce it correctly. 
When I decided to paint an agapanthus, I looked up it's "meaning", it turns out it means "flower of love". Well... I love it, and it's cool blue color!
