COLORFUL GLADS

I love it when the GLADIOLA are in full bloom. Their bright colors are a delight. This week's arrangement should last well over a week as the flowers bloom from the bottom up. Keep in clean water with floral preservative and they will last even longer. I pull the spent blooms off as the flowers continue to bloom up the stalk. Some people also continue to shorten the stems as the flowers bloom up the stalk.
