Gladioli

I would place Gladioli among the most beautiful flowers. They come in a sheaf, each sheaf having more than 10 flowers. The cut sheaf will stay fresh until the last bud blooms We had those in the good old days and now just like any other seasonal flowers they have disappeared. These flowers produce bulbs for propagation Image credit:

That's actually a gorgeous one!! I wish I had some in my garden. My garden is actually not in a very good shape these days due to some negligence on my part. Is it easy to grow them? Or they need some extra care and pampering??

You should not blame yourself but the weather Even my garden is not at its best. You can buy the bulbs when they are already showing life and that is the right time to plant them.

Do the flowers come back at a certain time of year.

If you leave the bulbs they will produce new plants.
