Agapanthus and Retinal Rivalry

Hi All,

A flower very popular in our neighborhood is Agapanthus, either in the blue variety seen here or with all white flowers. The name comes from Greek (agape - "love" and anthos - "flower"). Some species of Agapanthus are commonly known as Lily of the Nile, despite not being lilies at all.

I took this shot with a Fujifilm W3 using frame sides for phantogram processing. As to the retinal rivalry, alternately close your right and left eyes while wearing red-cyan anaglpyh glasses and you'll see green and blue through the cyan lens and monochrome gray through the red lens. I think you'll enjoy the image a great deal more if you can either parallel or cross-eye freeview the three-set below.

I'm not wishing to rant too much today, although there's plenty to rant about. I think the current administration has finally gone too far with its zero-tolerance immigration policies. Little by little I'm encouraged to see a few prominent conservative politicians and commentators start to denounce Trump and his hideous practices. I hope and pray for the floodgates to open, and for more of them to show courage, leadership and determination, and take us beyond this ugly period in American history.
