These are new to the local garden in town, and I just had to give it a try.

Tomorrow I will be away for most of the day, so if I don't comment on your image in the morning, I will catch you later on towards evening.

Thank you for the views, and comments.

I love the two-toned color of the gladiolus! The light and shadows make the image more dramatic. Very nice!

Sandi, the gladioli are already beautiful in itself, but the subdued color of the background makes this a wonderful and special photograph. Very well done!

Take care & regards, Cornelius.

Love the gorgeous gladiolus I see in the summer - brings back memories of my childhood when a dear friend with a huge vegetable and flower garden would bring glads every week.
