Agapanthus are flowering freely at the moment so it is a good time to think about how you can stop them from spreading by deadheading them.
In some parts of New Zealand they are considered an invasive weed.

The Hutt City Council had removed most of the extinguishers from its facilities over the past 12 months following a review of its fire safety plans. Facilities include the administration buildings and War Memorial Library.
Council spokeswoman Caryn Ellis said in the event of a fire, the council’s priority was for occupants to evacuate, not to fight a blaze.

"Guess this doesn’t happen very often ... but I am proud to still be part of the Saints Softball Club for 55+ years. My father managed teams in the early days and my three sisters plus numerous nieces & nephews played for the club. Now I have daughter Kiri and mokopuna Denva and Mesha playing in the same team with Mum and/or Nan still active in the club. The truth is ...I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t enjoy it so much!

What do you think about the Wellington City Council's move to ban "bottomless brunches?"
All-you-can-drink alcoholic beverages over a restaurant brunch could be in jeopardy after councillors indicated a ban on such deals.
Several establishments across the city offer unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for a fixed price and this has led to complaints of excessive drinking.
Wellington City Council spokesman Richard MacLean mentioned that several complaints were being followed up by council and police regarding these "all you can drink" deals.
“The ‘bottomless brunch' arrangements are a clear breach of liquor-licensing laws - which are designed to rule out irresponsible consumption of alcohol and intoxication,” MacLean said.

The former owners of the two-bedroom weatherboard house in Lower Hutt, the Johnson family, organised to give it away for free after its section at 35 Rata St, Naenae, was earmarked for development.
A condition of the giveaway was a donation to Te Omanga Hospice and that’s exactly what happened, and them some.
Not only was an undisclosed donation made by the new owners, but the developers, Faisandier Group, and House moving company, Quality Demolition, each chipped in with $5000. The extra donations were announced on Tuesday when the house was removed from its foundations to be transplanted by truck and trailer to a new property in Maungaraki in Lower Hutt’s western hills.
