I have a real love for gladiolus!! Mom really rubbed off on me. When these flowers bloom the colors are magnificent and vibrant. Unfortunately, deer love the tender buds of the gladioli, especially the dark red ones.

I was walking down a dirt rural country road in Oklahoma and in the ditch beside the road was a blooming very large pale blue iridescent Iris. I guess it could have been a new variety but it is difficult to see how a mail order catalog corm got in that ditch.

You have a wonderful website! How I love Angels and Flowers! You’ve joyfully shared both! My very favorite flowers are Roses and Hydrangeas! I’ve just finished 20 treatments of radiation! I received both gorgeous flowers!

Hi Barbara, I did not know if your treatments. How much you have suffered! I know you are offering all for the kingdom and the sacred work you have done for so many years. If you weren't before, now you are on the TOP of my prayer list. Peace.
