twoelevenone of my glads is blooming; i can't tell if it's rebloomed, or if this is a new one. it wouldn't surprise me if some of the original bulbs are now masses of happy bulbs which should be divided.
in any case, it's cute: it's pretty small, and red with yellow-green centers.

a few weeks ago, i bought some heavily discounted glad bulbs left over from the spring. they were only twenty cents a bulb in boxes of ten, so i figured i could blow a few bucks. the odds were more favorable than the lottery. i figured one or two out of each box would grow.
so i scattered some around my gardens, and dug some couple-square-foot holes near the front stoop and dumped a bunch in each. the bulbs were in much better shape than i thought, and it looks like i have a 70-80% sprouting rate. some of the new glads are growing like weeds, so they might even flower this year.
i'm pleased, and next spring/early summer should see the house surrounded by glads. and i'll have to remember this for future years: it's a cheap way to fill out the gardens.
