Gorgeous composition, close-up and bokeh!
I love agapanthus (agapanthi?), but they don't grow in the Midwest like they do in Southern California.
Five start on this one, Kylie.

Fabulous. Agapantha are my most photographed plant - I have many images - and can say with confidence that this is a winner! Great light throughout.

I was so excited when I began reading some of the comments. None of my Agapantas are blooming ... and I thought to run out and check them ... but then I realized I'm in the wrong hemispere! This is such an archtypal beauty of a bloom. Bravo!
