1209 - Gladiolus

In the side garden behind the house, I took this photograph a few days ago of this gladiolus in bloom.

It is one of two gladioli that come up each year, inexplicably avoiding the pocket gophers that have devoured the 50 or more bulbs I've planted over the years.

The red, purple and blue sweet peas climbing the fence behind it show no signs of relenting. They came up in early spring.

120830 - Sweet Peas

In the side garden behind the house, imperial dahlias are coming up around these sweet peas, which continue to bloom into September.
