    Thank you Mike I guess my images are too big.

    So the ones with all the flowers are the ones I have up front letting people see progress of them for the beginning of the summer.

    I staggered planted all these bulbs from early spring up till mother's Day.

    I'll try and get you the progress as they keep growing.

    Those are beautiful. We got some bulbs in Holland MI this spring while at the GTG. Thought about you when we bought them, they have bloomed and are dying back now.

    I actually staggered planning those.

    I started planting early spring and finished up mother's Day so I have them coming up all the time.

    I like the light pink ones. Don't have any of those

    They resemble my mothers peach color, light pink

    We lost 400 bulbs when she came down with cancer I was taking her to chemo and obviously staying with her asked another brother to did them up and hand in basement in old nylon

    it didn’t happen :zip::mad:

    Wow 400 bulbs. I think I'm going to be dealing with that many next year if not a little more.

    So sorry to hear about your mom

    That was 18 years ago; I took 9 months off, to be with her … no regrets..

    gladioli were her happiness, one “job” I had was delivering bouquets weekly to special friends, infirm or widows that needed a pick me up
