I like the colour of the agapanthus here in Portugal, it is such a traditional flower and colour, but what colour is it?
Yes, I am attracted to colour like any self-respecting gardener or bee, for that matter, so on a day long ago, I stopped the car on the road side when I saw a crimson red oleander and took a cutting. The cutting took a long time to root in our soil and flower again, but what colour is it? Certainly not crimson! And so I went to look at it again today and, while figuring out the colour, was overcome by the soft sweetened perfume that the flower exuded. Yes, colour is designed to be elusively attractive and draw you into the heavenly nature of the plant.
