    The flowers look great. I’ve seen this earlier and it made me think of this thread.

    ...perhaps we can look forward to something like Agapanthus 'Tight Boxers' to complement...
    ...actually, I'd probably buy that...

    I can't think that the name would put me off a plant if I liked everything else about it, but I have done the opposite.  When I discovered there is a Welsh heritage apple called "Goose's Arse", I just had to have one.  The grower's publicity assures potential buyers that the name refers to the shape of the fruit, not the flavour.  (Or smell, I should hope.)

    lol... I hope you show a photo of your 'Goose's Arse' one day...  one needs to compare these things..
