    signs of the first stock of gladiolus. I've planted over 200 bulbs this spring. Let's see what shows up.

    Planted 30 here; half are up so far.

    Nowhere near as nice as yours are looking though.

    It's odd that I've planted eight different colors and mostly the yellows came out first

    Truckaa They are looking gorgeous. Up here they get beaten down by the rain.

    I was reading where if you planted them in 5 bulb groupings, they tend to help each other stay upright

    It looks like a pride flag but the colors are in the wrong order.

    Its a flag honoring various services.

    Blue - law enforcement
    Red - fire fighters
    Green - military.
