Warm weather is here at last and the neighborhood is abloom with gladiolus.
for FRIDAY FLORAL FOTOS and NATURE FOOTSTEP BLO-MA and TODAY'S FLOWERS
We're GLAD to be here, enjoying all the neighbors' beautiful flowers.
We're grateful too .
We don't garden any more, but we used to -- and we know how much work it takes.
Nowadays, the camera is my only garden tool.
Great shots of the gorgeous Gladiolus!

Wonderful captures, Sallie! Gladioli are somewhat underrated as cut flowers, I think. At least in Australia - maybe it has something to do with Dame Edna!
Thank you for participating in Floral Friday Fotos!

I always feel happy when I see flowers, especially that I'm not good with their names and I find out what on blogs. Thank you for sharing them.

I love gladiolas but they did not do well here this year. The summer heat came way to early.
I have not seen that orange sherbet color before, gorgeous.

I meant that comment about my grandmother in a good way. :)

Gladiolas remind me of my grandmother. Plus, they're such a frilly, feminine flower. Beautifully photographed, Sallie! Your camera is the perfect gardening "tool".

I love glads, they are my favorite!

Gardening is so much easier when your only tool is your camera, isn't it? i depend on my perennials to keep maintenance to a minimum.....I have never seen such gorgeous glads - not even at a funeral!

i want some FALL! :)

Beautiful flowers ! In Belgium it rained so much that the flowers are not so nice this year. Now it's to late but we have a few sunny days !
Posted by: Gattina | August 14, 2012 at 12:45 PM
Those are beautiful flowers. You wouldn't like our garden, it's hard to grow anything in our high-altitude climate.
Posted by: Al | August 14, 2012 at 11:42 AM
The colours are gorgeous-I especially like the delicate pink blooms!
Posted by: HAZEL | August 14, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Beautiful shots of the glads. I used to grow them but haven't in a long time.
Posted by: Carver | August 14, 2012 at 10:55 AM
You'd like my garden. I planted around 50 gladiolas this year. Although Ithought they were irises! :)
