Gladiolus are some of my favorite plants. I grow them by the hundreds and am breeding new ones. Yes, some people call them old-fashioned funeral flowers. I really don’t care what the haters say, I think they are drop-dead gorgeous.

This is from more than a decade ago, but I have to share it anyway… the “living room” garden I created with my friend Virginia back when I was in college.

I firmly believe that one should have fun in the garden.
