Remembering Spring - A Gladiolus

"The Nature of This Flower is to bloom."
- Alice Walker

Thinking of spring and hoping for rain and cooler temperatures to give relief for all.

This was the first year I planted gladiolus. I've always enjoyed their graceful, ever-changing beauty. They come in a variety of colors. I had to be quick to cut the stalks to put them in water in the vase. The deer seemed to enjoy the tender flower buds - at least enough to try them out... aka, eat them. So, pretty much, if we wanted to get to look at them, we weren't going to be able to do that much actually outside in the garden.
