I'm Glad I Planted...

...glads!! Thanks to Jim for posting his beautiful gladiolus, I bought a small bag of bulbs and planted them quite late in the season. They started to grow and after stepping on most of them because I planted them too close to my milkweed, I couldn't believe it when I saw that one had bloomed even though it was hanging on the ground!! I quickly grabbed my camera before I dug up all the bulbs and now have them stored in the garage to be planted in a new spot next spring! They're supposed to be assorted, so looking forward to seeing what other colors pop up!

I'm glad you planted too, Angela, and these make me wish I'd planted as well! Beautiful shots of your pristine white blooms. They look like satin!

Angela, I also love Gladiolus but I have a little problem. Moles and voles. I once had an 88 foot planter of tulips with some glads mixed in. The first year was awesome, the second year was almost void of flowers. They ate somewhere around 350 different bulbs during the winter. Still have them in the yard and walking around causes a little problem, I put my cane down and it sometimes sinks an additional inch or two. I now need to walk carefully around my yard or end up on the ground. Your photos are awesome.
