This year we’re trying out some new flowers in our yard. These are photos of what I hope the flowers will look like when they bloom… First off the tuberose. I fell in love with them when my husband brought some home to me one day. I love the delicate flowers and the wonderful scent of this flower. We tried to grow them last summer, but they never bloomed.

We’re also trying to grow some agapanthus. Here is a photo of when I first saw them in bloom during a trip to Carmel. I love the spread of the bloom and the amazing purple color.

Sigh. I’m really hoping the ones we planted this year will bloom for us. Such pretty flowers
, aren’t they? Stay tuned for the saga of the tuberose and the agapanthus! Wish us luck!
