Fascinating cascade of blooms. Are they yellow? Or pink? More mountains today, but Scotland this time. I found myself wondering if you had ever been walking there too.
These were my fatherâs favourite type of flower. Hard to photograph well though, their long skinny shape always leaves me wondering just how much of them to try and include in the shot.Youâve done a good job capturing the feeling of length while still getting a good amount of detail.
@gardencat You're right - the typical thing about these flowers is their elongated overall shape. What interested me more in this case were the shape movements in the flowers (they almost look like frills) - hence the restriction to a detail.
@helenhall You always write and describe so beautifully. Sensitive perception and literary talent are always wonderfully mixed in your lines. So elegant!
@casablanca Thank you for your nice interest! This gladiolus was yellow (it has now faded). I also planted red and orange. Purple varieties will be added next year.
Your shots of the mountains are superb! Unfortunately, I've never been to Scotland. The landscapes must be wonderful.

And yet all the gladioli in the garden have faded...
