The colors are striking...this was the first one to bloom...
Just to think what I would have missed, had I forgotten completely!

Glads...
A few months ago, my sisters and I held a birthday party for our Mom, in honor of her 80th birthday. As party favors, we sent home small bags of gladiolus bulbs with the guests. I tucked mine away in the basement, along with the extras, and almost forgot they were there! I planted them a bit late, but they're now happily beginning to bloom.

oh, how gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I sure enjoyed ours this year, but they are mostly finished blooming now. Maybe that's a good idea to plant some late to extend the season.
ReplyDeleteoh, those colors together! Nothing in fabric or paint gets close enough. . .
ReplyDeleteOh Alica that is so pretty I am sure glad you remembered oh what a great idea for a party favour. I am sure you all had a great time. Hug B
ReplyDeleteVery pretty colors, Alicia! Great party favor idea. When our Homemakers Extension Club was still running we did a plant exchange every May.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I planted my bulbs late, but got only ONE bloom, and it was a gorgeous orange. I'm hoping they'll do better next year.
ReplyDeleteGlads are so pretty! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty.
ReplyDeleteThey're well named (I know their real name is gladiola) they emit gladness. Cheered me up just to see your nicely done photo.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! Yours are blooming already. Mine have a long ways to go. I love your photo. They are such happy flowers
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful glad. I am 'glad' you found them in time. I just have a few and leave them in the ground here. So far, they have survived each winter.
ReplyDeleteJust a beautiful shot.
