    They're beautiful and a nice haiku to complement it. I haven't mastered writing a haiku tho. Looking at your blog makes me want to get some same flowers too. Ha-ha.

    First of all, thanks to all of you who stopped by...I enjoyed your visit tremendously!

    @ Tootsie, Shifan and Rajesh - Glad you liked this flower that I posted.

    @ Raine - Thanks for the compliment. I also am just getting into this haiku thing...not easy at all, though I'm slowly catching on as to what a haiku should contain.

    @ Ray, Lrong, ilanadavita, January, gengen and Eden - I'm so glad this flower is one you all like!

    @ Pblacksaw - Welcome aboard, Patsy!

    @ Boonie S - Thanks, and be seeing you at the next meme!

    @ Maia - Dear Maia, thank you for visiting...and cheers to Macro Flowers!

    @ Luna Miranda, Jan, Modern Mum, Stephani, Nature Footstep, Jingle and Teresa - Happy that this flower made you happy!

    @ glh - Welcome, glad you dropped in. The haiku speaks of a mother's soft commands - wonder how many agree with that image of the white agapanthus as representative of the message in my haiku.

    @ Danielle Says Hello - I haven't had the opportunity yet of meeting any of mine, since I have only recently started blogging (6 months new!)Hope to though, one day.

    @ April - So many flowers inspire us to become poets, I do agree...

    @ John S. Mead - Thank you so much, sometimes a point and shoot camera can do wonders with the right subject, in this case, an obliging white agapanthus!
