I love the bold statement of Gladioli;
petals as vibrant as wax crayons
unfurling slowly from day to day.
cobalt
carmine
glacier white
canary
chartreuse
(NOT lime, I am SO over lime)

Oh what beautiful pictures! So colorful. I just love gladioli.
You crack me up! HES would say "Lime is so last year!"
I had no idea you could get gladeoli in such fabulous colours
What a wonderful blue - do you grow them? I've never seen that shade in M&S!
I missed them this year at my market - even though they were only $4 a bunch I was on austerity...
yours are beautiful!
Lovely. My only argument with gladdies is how quickly they look untidy in the border. Next year I am planning to grow them on the allotment and harvest them so it won't matter!
What gorgeous flowers, Alice. My favorites are the cobalt ones.
no lime? not even in your G+T?
Gladioli never look to me like a plant. So upright. I'm intimidated by them - like immaculate women with polished bobs. Scary
I love how you call that colour Carmine instead of Bright Pink, makes me love it even more. Ditto the "Chartreuse" , where do you get these words from?! They are almost as beautiful as the flowers themselves.

Love chartreuse. My long-neglected bicycle is chartreuse. In fact, I even named it: Charlotte. (Perhaps I sensed I'd be birthing only boys someday...) It's okay that you're over lime -- just don't ever get over magpies, okay?
Love the chartreuse ones. I have a vase just for gladioli...
What gorgeous colors and photos! But you know you won't be able to avoid lime forever :) K x
Oh this post contents me - (as opposed to dements me) - those beautiful photos -
And your "over lime" reference made me laugh!
