A former best friend declared the gladiolus was THE flower of the East Village. There was not one at her memorial service, which was put together by people in denial. They filled the place with white lilies and red roses, neither of which she liked. Thanks for the memory.

Coral glads are my favorite. Thank you for sharing them with us.

My glads started popping out all over two days ago, too. This beauty couldn't take the wind, snapped shortly after I took the picture. Now living out her days in a vase in the house:

Glad all over!
