Anyhow, I'm over it! This season I'm growing some from seed from Botanical Interests - 'Decorative Double Blend' which are supposedly nice cut flowers, and 'Creme De Casis' from tubers from good old Walmart.
My other newest obsession is Gladiolus. I've been growing them for a few years now; they are Beau's favorite flower. When I lived elsewhere, I would pass a farm on my way to work and they had a few ACRES of Glads growing. It was stunning! And she sold you a HUGE mess of them for like $5, so I always stopped and bought some on the way in or out from work. She also sold at the Farmer's Market on the (Madison) Square back in the day. I'm sure she's long gone, but her Glads were really something!
