I just Googled "Agapanthus" and found that it is, as I suspected, a
flower. Also called the African Lily or Lily of the Nile. The name
is derived from the Greek "agape" which means "love." I believe that
this is generally understood to refer to Christian love, although, it
could also refer to platonic, nonsexual, spiritual love.
I wonder if Dumbledore is being ironic here. "It's a long time since
my last visit," said Dumbledore, peering down his crooked nose at
Uncle Vernon, "I must say, your agapanthus are flourishing."
