Botonist in the making - I think not!!

We have a patch of Agapanthus plants on our verge.For most of the year these indigenous plants are nothing more than long green leaves providing a home and breeding ground for hundreds of snails (and wonderful hiding places for bunnies!) but come November/December they start to flower and have beautiful, big, blue blooms.

Ours are always a little slow, I think they flower according to how they are watered and in this garden the watering is pretty erratic and so the flowering!

Anyway, on arriving home from school today Niave noticed this one:

and gasped with great astonishment "mom, look at this, I can't believe it's hatching"!!!
