I have inquiries out to people who gifted the garden.
We need to know the origin of gladiola bulbs that survived last winter in the ground.

    curiosity or big mystery? I'm guess you would like to get more from the same origin?
    I'm glad I don't know a gladiola from a sadiola.

    Maybe a squirrel buried the bulbs there.

    OK, I didn't see them in the last post but do now. No, I did not give them to you or snuck into your yard and put them there.

    They're very pretty, it's been a long time since I saw gladioli growing anywhere.

    Echoing River. Hardy and beautiful is a rare combination.

    Drove by a garden in Florence, KY that was chock-a-block with gladioli in every colour imaginable; loved the garden, and love your glads.

    I've never grown glads, maybe one of these days I will. they are nice as cut flowers too if cut with only a few open they continue to open all the way up the stem.

    I love a good mystery. Once I received a potted plant as a spring gift (hostess gift) and kept it until it faded and died indoors and then just turned it out into the garden. That's how I ended up with orange tulips! Any chance you received a plant and chucked it out into the garden once it was done? -Jenn

    Enjoy them, no matter the origin! Mine did not survive the winter and I was sad. I have a hole in my garden now that needs filling.

    The definitive word from the friend from whose mother's garden came the glads: they have not been dug up for quite a few years she knows of, excepting the shovelfull I took last fall.

    This is a fun mystery. You have unraveled just enough to keep us all interested.

    They are very pretty! But glads always remind me of funerals. Isn't that crazy?

    Had a friend whose mom planted glads before she died. They always come back in Michigan where no glads survive. Sometimes just a fun story.
