Gladioli

Glads have been one of my favourite flowers since I was a wee lad.  I can't say I am all that successful with them though.  I seem to run into thrips far too often, and this year appears to be a banner year for the little sap-sucking buggers.

However, rather than dwell on the negative side of glads (heaven knows there is enough negativity in the world these past couple days -- just makes me want to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in after me) I thought I would show you some of my healthier specimens.


















And that is about all I have to say for today.

    Your glads are beautiful. I haven't grown any for years, but when I did, they always ended up so top-heavy, I had to tie them to stakes to keep them from falling over. Yours look like they're standing nice and tall without stakes. (Your thumb must be much greener than mine!)
