    Well, I cut the last of my Gladwiniolas

    Final count for the year.

    Yellow 15
    Pink 40
    Red 35
    Orange 9
    Light pink 5
    White 24
    Purple 4

    For a total of about 135.
    I have some that never really spiked. About 20. Maybe next year will bloom.

    I have determined that the more mature bulbs bloom the earliest. Planting the ones in the Back last still bloomed quicker than some of the Front ones,

    My plan next year is to put out a few more out front, I did not clip those and give them to anyone. The backyard I would say 75% of them were given away and the rest brought inside for ourselves.

    Now I just wait for the leftover stems to brown and some time in Sept/October dig them up and process them for next year.

    The majority of the plants I did mark, identifying the color of the plants,

    My next posting will show the browning and the processing.
