These seem to be blooming everywhere right now, a flower that I never liked but am beginning to be a little fond of.

They are much more attractive in an arrangement than when they are growing outside. Their height is awkward and they seem to lean in every direction. I did have fun painting them and may buy some more in a different color.

New Flowers

I  call these new flowers because I have no experience with Gladiolas.  I have never grown them or had them in the house.  Bill bought these and brought them home for me to paint and I really like them. They are just beginning to open up.  I have to say they are a challenge to paint. They are  much taller than shown here so I want to do a rectangular painting  showing the full height of them. They have just a touch of orange in the center.
