Gladiolus
There is a farm just down the road from me where, among other produce, the farmer sells flower bouquets on her roadside stand. I featured her Chinese asters for my anniversary posting, you might recall. She lets me wander among her beds and photograph the flowers, so here you see a gladiolus of hers. We had quite a bit of rain before this, so that normally upright, this gladiolus was beaten a little off straight, but still as lovely as ever. Steven’s granddad used to refer to these as ‘glads’ which is such a cheery name, so that’s what my post is titled. You don’t get a full bouquet today, but a single stem with several flowers, which is just as good. Have a lovely day, my friends.

It is a beautiful flower Ellie. It looks like somebody has taken a fine paint brush and painted the lines on the petals. What amazing design and colour and texture in those flowers. Thanks again for sharing and for the fact that Steve’s grandfather called them glads. ‘Cuz they do make us glad or happy. Hope you have a great day.
I agree, they do look as if painted by an artist and in one sense I do think of them in that way as well. If this made you glad then I am doubly glad myself. Thank you, Linda.
