Gladiolas are Here!



The glads are a little earlier than I expected this year, even with the cooler weather and less sun. They are getting so heavy that I had to prop them up with bamboo last evening. They are a genus of perennial bulbous flowering plants in the iris family. They are named for the Latin word for sword, gladius.


In the background of this picture, you can see that the rhubarb is back--that is one hardy herbaceous perennial!
