Gladiolas in several different colors line a sidewalk in our backyard.
My husband planted them just this spring so we didn't have much hope of their blooming this year. Surprise! The stately, elegant flowers sprouted right up, pushed themselves into the air, and have grown to almost full adult height
Almost every day for several weeks, my forever love has brought in a couple of blooms to adorn the kitchen table.
Today's post has creamy white gladiolas and they look divine in a deep cobalt blue square vase.
Did you know that the name, gladiolas, came from the shape of the flower's leaves which are like swords?
The flower has been aligned with "preparedness, strength, splendid beauty, and love at first sight." Works for me because that's how I feel about gladiolas. One look at their exquisite beauty and it's definitely love at first sight.
Hope you enjoy my close-up shots of the white gladdies. My trusty little camera did a fairly decent job, don't you think?
