Glads

Our neighbors blessed us with three spikes of gladiolas from their garden. I just love the color of these.
Beautiful

Glads remind me of my grandfather... he grew them in his flower garden, which was literally a garden for cutting flowers. He furnished the flowers for his church as long as I can remember. He kept poinsettias in his basement from Christmas to Christmas until they got too big to get up the stairs... sorry for rambling! Love the dark background to highlight that beautiful color!

@calm - Thank you so much Cathy! I am glad my photograph stirred fond memories of your grandfather! Thank you for sharing how it touched you!

I shot these in the dining room. The late afternoon sun was the only illumination. The dark back ground is actually the door to a closet which appears black because of the intense light on the flowers.

Beautiful colours. I have seen so many different coloured ones this year...I think I may have to plant some next year.

@lynnb - Yes they are beautiful! We used to plant them around our garden, but then we quit gardening some years ago and we haven't enjoyed them since! At least now in our own garden,
