There's no stopping those glads...

Wonderful bargain gladioli ...

Goodness you were quick there Terra! They are beautiful arn't they? How are you?....and Conker?

What cracking shots you got there lovely colours too.

Thanks Bob!

Jays liquid, Fluff.................... For the greenhouse windows I meen. It gets rid of all the nasties (blight and the likes)as well as cleans the glass. Lol :~))

Gladdies are gorgeous! I'm surprised you werent singing "Glad all over"!!!

Sorry to hear your gladioli didn't all do very well. The ones that did flower are great though.
I found Wilkinsons bulbs are not very good. The ones I've bought from there have always been poor.

Lovely Gladdies Fluff. Better not tell Dame Edna, she might be after them!

I love your glads fluff never had any when do you put them in

Or Morrisey might nick 'em!

Thanks Ian...is that the stuff to use? I'll get some...it sounds old-fashioned!
Thanks Lily, Hywel & MP...I put them in months ago & forgot about them!
Marie...I've just got the Morrissey thing...doh!

LOL!

'Fraid you'll have to explain it to me Marie!

Morrisey is the lead singer in the Smiths & throws gladioli at the audience! He keeps them in his back pocket!

Must have a big back pocket .......and bottom to go with it ! Lol

LOL!
What about the song, Fluff?

Sorry MP...do you mean as in the Dave Clark Five?

Or do you mean ...Heaven knows I'm miserable now!

Dave Clark 5 of course!

Dont want to start on Smiths songs..........music to hang yourself by!

Did the slug get a flying lesson? or a drink of salt water?

Let's just say it got 're-located' Wagger...!

Some really nice Gladioli you've got there, Fluff! I love them & have several white ones that come up every year on the balcony. I don't lift them & they survive alright without any protection.

A couple are planted in the same tub as my Fred Loads rose but this year they had their leaves shredded just as you describe happened to some of yours. I don't know what the culprit is though. Like you I've had some that were unaffected. I've had 3 flower spike this year but other years there have been several more I think.

In spite of the number of photos I take I can't be really sure that I've not photographed the same one several times over in the couple of weeks they last!
