Gladiolus--The Finished Product

I planted my gladiolus bulbs months ago, and it's been interesting watching them grow from bulbs into large green blades, and then, finally, stunning tall flowers. This was my first attempt with glads, and I'm so glad I finally got around to planting them this season.

After the first frost, I will dig them up and store them in the garage over the winter. I can plant them in the spring after all danger of frost is over. I'll be able to enjoy them all over again next year.
