Gladioli from the garden

lovely colours

beautiful..even better displayed in the house..

So delicate, dont know what happened to ours this year......

Ive had problems with mine too Daisy..these are a lovely combo..

Same here, but very dry earlier when flower stalks forming. Dont think mine got enough water, and then with all the cold winds and rain, got rust. We had a few in the garden that did better than the ones in pots, thats why I think the hot spell had some effect, cos pots get drier quicker than open ground. The rust was worse in pots because there were more corms closer together..there were certainly some very cold winds in the west country in Aug/early Sept Homebird.

Shame cos they did well in pots last year.
