Agapanthus
FillerSummer
The agapanthus opens dozens of small trumpet blooms fanning out like umbrella ribs from the tip of a long stem. Its name joins the Greek for love (agape) and flower (anthos), and its silhouette — blue fireworks — is coolness itself.
The story of its meaning
The agapanthus means "A love letter". A flower of love by its very name, it earned the meaning from the way a single stem sends dozens of blooms out in every direction, like letters.
