Post for Old Kitty re mystery plant

This is agapanthus, an photo I took in Madeira last year.

Photobucket

These grow along the sides of the road and look stunning. I might not leave this post up for long because I may want to use this photo in an article which I'm about to write.

These broader leaved agapanthus are more susceptible to frost in this country. Kitty, you say your mystery plants were bulbs, so I'm not totally convinced they are agapanthus, though they look like agapanthus, and the blooming time is right. Agapanthus have thick fleshy roots rather than bulbs like daffodils.

I don't think they are alliums because their leaves tend to be going over by the time they flower.

Hope this helps.
