Oh My Gladiolus!

by Self Sagacity at 2:00 AM
Gladiolus is one of my first bulbs. Not knowing if they'd turn out like the picture, which they never do. I am so glad for this color, so very soft and calming. Plus they are always on time and multiplying!



Pink Saturday,

    Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Amanda. I am so glad you decided to join us.

    Your glads are gorgeous. They are one of my favorites, but I have tried to grow them. I often purchase white glads to put in our dining room.

    Hi Sweetie and Welcome to Pink Saturday. We are so thrilled that you decided to join in the fun.

    Love the flowers, they are just beautiful. So softly tinted with color. Gladiolas are one of my favorite. Grandma and Moma have always had them in their gardens.

    I have signed up to follow your blog. I can't wait to see what you share next. Please pop over and say hi. I would be so honored if you signed up to follow my blog as well.

    Country hugs sweetie...Sherry

    I love glads!! Yours are lovely. In our climate we have to dig them up in the fall and store them until spring, but it is so worth it!!

    Happy Pink Saturday!! :-)

    Welcome to Pink Saturday Amanda. Can see you love pink if you grow these gorgeous gladiolas. Growing up in England we had so many in our garden - thanks to my dear late mother's nurturing. Here in NC I have a hard time with them due to the hot/humid Summers.

    Enjoy your weekend. I'm actually visiting New York City and the snow is coming down like crazy!!
