I don't know what this flower is. Carol doesn't remember the name, but says this is purple when in bloom. Then it dries out like this. I think even the dried flower is beautiful, a marvelous design in nature! Let me know if you have the ID. Thanks to Bea who ID'd the flower as Lily of the Nile (Agapanthus)

I will be offline for a few days or more, as we get new Internet connections set up and complete our move. Look forward to hearing from all my friends, (I hope I have some), when I get back online, and checking out the photos I have missed.
