A lovely one.

Thankyou both ... this was in a selection of mixed Gladiolus and the majority are yellow. Shame this is planted by the orange Crocosmia as it clashes so much!

I quite like clashes Shirley. Think of Christopher Lloyd gardening, tall plants at the front, brilliant colours clashing wildly...:))

Janey, that is so true, but even though I don't have a planned colour scheme, this is a bit too gaudy for me!

Oh, this is lovely, Shirley! I will show him this, he’ll love it!
Apologies for the lateness. We had a wedding last weekend and we’ve both got a horrid cold that isn’t shifting, it’s been worse this past week.
Thanks again for posting, it’s such a beautiful pink. x

No need to apologise at all. My daughter came back from a Comicon convention in San Diego with Covid!!

I hope you and yours recover soon ... :o)

Oh crikey!!! I do hope she isn't too ill, Shirley 🤞
Hoping they still enjoyed their trip over to San Diego!!!! Poor thing.
I'm feeling better, OH not so much...
I showed my patient your pic today, he was well impressed! He said thanks for posting, he's loving the colouring on yours 😊

She's a whole lot better now having completed a 5 day course of anti viral meds as she has a problem that puts her at high risk. She travelled alone as her partner is on a deployment to The Falklands until October.

I'm glad you are feeling better and do hope your OH catches up soon.

How lovely that your patient saw the photo of my Gladiolus ... very kind of you to show him ... :o))

Oh bless her, Shirley. So glad the anti viral have worked for her, it's such a worry all the same. I'd forgotten her partner may have been away in duty. She'll be missing him..
We're OK, OH has had a course of antibiotics and a throat spray prescribed today, so I picked them up on my way home.
Yes, my patient was pleased to see a pic of yours too, he has what looks like a darkish pink or red, ready to open very soon xx

Kate, I have just sent a BFPO parcel off to him!

I have a pinky red Gladiolus coming out too ... your patient and I clearly have similar tastes in plants ... :o)

15 Aug, 2024

 

He will be pleased, you are a good ‘un 😉

Yes, I do think you have similar tastes, lovely ones at that!
