Holy Gladioli!

These things are going nuts! I didn't realize how heavy they got nor did I realize how tall. Regardless, I think I like them even though I'll have to dig them up in the fall.

I really like the red ones. They were actually supposed to be more of a dark maroon color (I can't remember it's REAL name), but they really look nice considering I don't have any other red flowers.

I think the red ones, for some reason, kind of look like an amaryllis.

One of these days, MoM, I'll start using the scientific names!
