Yesterday, Brattcat asked if the tulip I pictured was in my garden. It wasn’t. It is in the garden of a dear friend but, the question made me think I should picture something that is in my garden. The problem is, I have no idea what kind of flower this is.
I took the top photo yesterday morning. The second photo was taken last weekend when it just started to bloom. You can see how the little flowers seem to unwind from the bud as they open.
For the third photo, I backed up a little so you could see several of the blooms.
If anyone knows what flower this is, please let me know.

Agapanthus.
Thank you for bringing us into your garden, Sharon. If these beauties are any indication of what you have growing there I will look forward to seeing more images from your garden over the coming months.
Agapanthus aka "Lily of the Nile" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agapanthus
Very lovely, Sharon. And purple! Magpie likes purple. :-)
I think I may be able to remember Lily of the Nile. Agapanthus wold be more of a shallenge.
These are lovely, I love this time of year in Phoenix.
great story and what a nice surprise to see. very pretty
It looks like some folks are pretty sure what this is...but whatever, it is certainly beautiful and something in your garden to treasure!
Pretty and unusual.
I didn't recognize agapanthus, but Lily of the Nile hit the mark!! I had one of these last year, but didn't realize it came from a bulb and disposed of it when it went by. Next time I'll know!! I do love the color!
These are pretty common here but haven't started blooming yet.
