Carpet of colours

One of the first things I noticed upon arriving in this part of the world last February were the Agapanthus.

They are tall, globe shaped flowers in different shades of mauve. They grow everywhere - on the side of the highway, in people's gardens, in parks. They're blooming again, now that I am going home.

I feel like Adelaide is rolling out its purple carpet for me - the magnificent deep purple and periwinkle Jacarandas, the Agapanthus...

and Oleander which are pink, but lovely, none the less.
