Can one "hate" a flower? Then Aga-pan-THUS!

Agapanathus africanus. If you're into science. Or "Lily of the Nile" if you're into Egyptology. When I lived in Bel Air from 1999-2006, there were THOUSANDS of these plants on the property (close to 10 acres in size). They have to be trimmed a few times a year. Their stems are a yard long. And they're heavy when you're talking piles of them. Sure they're pretty - but they're a bitch to clean up.

Just like the bitch I worked for. I love flowers. I love taking pictures of them. But I HATE this flower. I wonder if Cleopatra's slaves had to cut these pricks down too?
