Thanks, Brenda. When I bought those corms, they were supposed to be yellow, and, at first, I was disappointed they were mislabled. Now, they are my favorite glad.

Isn’t it amazing how Coral Nymph and plumbago can look cool and fresh in hot summer if they get just a little shade? Maybe next year I’ll remember to get a few gladiolus bulbs.
Happy Blooming, Jan!
