Glad For Gladiolus

in nature •  6 years ago 

These photos are of my neighbors beautiful Gladiolus and I was glad that I could enjoy them too. Notice the top bud as it opens.

There are approximately 260 species of Gladiolus which are in the iris family. The trumpet shaped flowers are in every color except for blue and they grow on one side of a spike, which grows 2-5 feet high.

Gladiolus bloom in July and August and attract different insects that are responsible for pollination, such as bees, wasps, flies and moths.

These flowers are the official birth flower for August.

Thanks for looking!

    They are an amazing flower. Wonder if they grow in the wild like this. Probably not.

      I agree with you about these flowers. No, they don't grow in the wild. You have to plant them.

                        The funeral flower!
                        Beautiful, stiff, and long-lasting, it became a staple of floral bouquets at funerals. Less so as wedding bouquets - too stiff and upright. I've had a love-hate thing for "glads" because of funerals. Take away that association, and I love-hate them only because the bulbs have to be dug up, stored all winter, and replanted every spring, unlike tulips. Yeah, for all my gardening efforts. low-maintenance is my favorite. Great photos! And... they're wedding white! Good for floral arrangements at the altar.

                          I never did associate glads with funerals and I can see why you would have the love-hate thing going on with them. Yup, gardening can be a lot of work and it sounds like you have done your share. Low maintenance is my favorite too. Thanks again for your compliment on my photos. : )
