Gladiolus

Several days of rain and wind and then lots of snow and I am ready for a bright splash of summer colour. This gladiolus is a detail, where I am used to seeing the whole stem. I wanted to focus on the intricate structure and texture of the petals in contrast to the smooth stems and buds behind. The colour is a bonus, with this warm sunny yellow to brighten our days today. I hope the rain has stopped for you (if rain you had) and the sun shines down on you wherever you are. Warm hugs all ’round. View all posts on the Home page.  A Flower a Day #439

  1. They’re not called ‘glads’ for no good reason…and I, for one, am glad to see them, unfolding their sunfilled arms, as if in slow motion, and wrapping them about their stems warmly. Kinda makes one glow all over. Thank you, Ellie, for staving off the inevitable one more day.

  2. It is lovely Ellie. Just what a person needs on a dull boring day. A beautiful bright yellow flower. Thanks again for sharing the details in the petals. Hugs to you and steve. Hope you have a good day.
