The Agapanthus flowers seen above (Agapanthus africanus) are a ubiquitous feature of California landscaping. Like ice plant, they are a South African import, sometimes going by the name "African lily". Amaryllidaceae is commonly known as the amaryllis family, after the genus of ornamental, flowering bulbs, but its most famous member is undoubtedly the onion, which is also sometimes grown as an ornamental (as in the flowering Allium seen below). The second most famous member, garlic, belongs to the same genus.
