Agapanthus

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful windy morning in my part of New Zealand.

Today being the middle of the week mean it's Wednesday which can only mean we have another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 challenge for you this week.

Firstly congratulations to our winner from last week and also to our top 3 cards great work everyone and it was lovely visiting all your blogs and catching up on what everyone has been doing and crafting.

This week we have another great sketch from our very own Sally Dude.  I love this sketch and as soon as I saw this wonderful image of Agapanthus Flower I just had to have it.

Apapanthus grow like weeds here in New Zealand and people can't give the plants ways, they drop their seeds and next minute another new plant has germinated and sprouting through the ground.  I know that in other parts of the world Agapanthus plants are really expensive selling for up to $30.00 for one plant and we can't even give them away here.  Our very long driving has them both sides as they have green foliage all year round and during the summer the have this amazing display of both mauve and also the white flowers which are perfect for filling up large spaces in your garden especially with the size of our garden.

                  

Sketch # 034
