Default Ping Sheila aand the 'white agapanthus seed club'

I have been nurturing a plant over the last few years which I believed
to be a seedling from Sheila's white agapanthus. This year it has
bulked up nicely and produced 3 flower stems. So exciting! They are
just beginning to open and they are *blue*. Now, don't get me wrong, I
love blue agapanthus with a passion, but I was hoping this plant would
be white. It's the only survivor of those 'white' seeds.

How did the rest of you (including Sheila, of course!) get on with your
seedlings? Are any white, are some blue, are all blue? If you've all
got white agapanthus, then it means all my Agapanthis Sheilaii seedlings
died, and my carefully nurtured plant is from another agapanthus. Since
all my existing agapanthus are blue, it seems likely it's a chance
seedling from one of them.

I would love to hear how you've all got on.
