Oregon Flowers Two

The Gladiolus are starting to fade away into the sunset so I have to photograph them while I can. I've said this many times...they are the most vibrant flowers we have in our yard.

As they bloom, they make beautiful bouquets. However, in the garden they can get a little too tall and unruly.

A great and recommended book from Amazon: Flowers By Carolyne Roehm  (With a gardener’s understanding and a an elegant eye, the author shows us the flowers she has cultivated for decades in and around her historic Connecticut home. While alternating dramatic close-ups with portraits of lovely arrangements and sweeping views of her land, Roehm writes with wit, emotion, and affection of what flowers have meant to her, as well as of the joys and travails of the committed gardener’s life.)

Oregon Flowers

We have an assortment of English Roses in our yard. One of the most robust is an Abraham Darby English Rose.

One of the more unusual flowers we have is a Green Gladiolus. This is not a Photoshop trick...it is actually green in color.

Flower Garden Pictures Six

One of the most unusual flower in our yard are Gladiolus. Mainly, because of color.

The hangup is the height. They get rather tall and sometimes grow at an angle and are hard to stake up.

The Hydrangea shown here is multi-colored. Mainly, because of soil content.

The English Roses are very robust and grow like mad...they require a lot of care but are beautiful.

Dahlias are my favorite! They are really diverse and require little care.

Gladiolus Flower Gardens | Shocking Colors

We planted a Gladiolus flower garden in the spring.  Glad (no pun intended) we did!

It was an assorted packet of Gladiolus with no clue what they would look like when they finally bloomed. When the first gladiola bloomed it was a big shock to put it mildly. 

Actually, a color we hadn't seen before in any other flower...green.  Also, the green gladiola has been in bloom for weeks, and just now starting to lose its bloom. Actually, quite a long blooming period as opposed, let's say to an Iris.

Hopefully, you can catch the different and brilliant colors of these beautiful gladiolas by looking over the photos. Can't wait for these annuals to come up next year again.

Wow! I have had a really good response on my flower posts.  We will be sad when they all lose their blooms.
 
One flower in particular that is coming into flirtation are the gladiolus.  My wife planted an assorted bag of them and had no idea how they would come out.  So far a green one and two others...a burgundy and a yellow.
