Poll: Agapanthus - pretty flower or ugly weed?

Jay Boreham Reporter from Rodney Times

Agapanthus is one of Kiwi gardeners' most popular flowers, but it could be argued the southern African plant is also our most visible invasive weed.
It's a major threat to native plants, and some councils list it as a pest species. Did you know it was a weed? And do you think it needs eradicating, or is it a welcome addition to your garden?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
