All my own work

I planted gladioli in a boarder next to the garage several years ago. Each year without fail I have failed stake them so they flop over the patio. This year I tied them up, using string and a nail in the garage wall and have been rewarded with a few spikes. Several of these are now in a vase in the living room. Its very unusual for me to cut flowers for the house, they are normally left in the garden
