Sword Lily

Sword lilies, or commonly known as gladiolus, are getting ready to bloom. These are some of the first flower buds and blooms in various stages that were noted today. So excited to see different color combinations in each plant. We bought the corms last year from Brecks and planted them around the vegetable garden, house, and by the creek. This year all gladiolus plants that come back or, I should say, survive from yard clearing, gopher and mole tunnel, gate and fence installation, etc. look bigger and sturdier than last year's growth. Hope the flower will too.
