Agapanthus (also known as Lily Of The Nile) is a genus of herbaceous perennials that mostly bloom in summer and is the only genus in the subfamily Agapanthoideae of the flowering plant family Amaryllidaceae. The family is in the monocot order Asparagales. The name is derived from scientific Greek: αγάπη (agape) = love, άνθος (anthos) = flower. (Wikipedia)..................
St Mawes (Cornish: Lannvowsedh) is a small town opposite Falmouth, on the Roseland Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies on the east bank of the Carrick Roads, a large waterway created after the Ice Age from an ancient valley which flooded as the melt waters caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating an immense natural harbour, often claimed to be the third largest in the world. It was once a busy fishing port, but the trade declined during the 20th century and it now serves as a popular tourist location.
The town takes its name from the Celtic saint Saint Maudez (Mawe), who may have come from Ireland but is mainly venerated in Brittany. A name: ‘Musidum’ in Roman times, has subsequently been applied to St. Mawes, although the source is dubious.
St Mawes lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is home to St Mawes Castle which is a well-preserved coastal fortress from the time of Henry VIII (Wikipedia)...........
