Focus On Flowers
At certain times of the year we just don’t have quite enough flowers. This is when "filler" is really important.
We sometimes see a plant with an elongated, smooth and usually skinny, trunk with a round mop of foliage at the top.
The name "gladiolus," is from a Latin word meaning "little sword" because of the shape of the plant's leaves.
