The Day Lily. It derives its name from the Greek hemero = day and kallos = beauty, and of course, only flowers for a day.
Gaura, native to North America and I found out today; also found in a yellow variety.
The ubiquitous agapanthus, indigenous, and deriving its name from the Greek agape = love and anthos = flower.After taking pictures of flowers in Prince Albert some months ago I decided to buy two books on flowers so that I would no the name of the flowers I was photographing.
They were; 'What flower is that?', by the late Kristo Pienaar, and 'Wild Flowers of South Africa' by Braam van Wyk. Both are available on http://www.kalahari.net.
So, when I took photographs in the garden this morning, I looked up the details of each of the lovely subjects and I learned so much!
