In the last few years I have started doing more flower gardening. One of the first flowers I tried growing was a Gladiolus. I was drawn to the bright coral color on the package so I thought I would give them a try. They are not an easy flower to grow in Idaho. You have to wait until winter has passed to plant them and, unlike bulbs like tulips and daffodils, you have to dig them up before frost and plant them again the next year. But man, I love how they grow so tall and stately, how they bloom gradually up from the bottom, and I love love love the bright colors standing out against the rock on my house.
