When we had glads years ago we had to dig them up every fall and store them until Spring. They aren't hardy here. One fall we left them and they didn't make it, and we never planted more. They are absolutely gorgeous though! This makes me want try them again<br />next spring.

Who would have known that they carry bulbs there- not me!! If we plant them here we have to dig them out for the winter so they won't freeze and die off.

Not beautiful, but I did not take care of them either. They even came up again this year. Maybe next year I will move them to a sunny place and water them once in awhile. Your plank wall is beautiful. I have plans for one in our bathroom. Hope my wall is straight.

Your daughter is very wise!<br /><br />When I was much younger and *not at all* informed about flowers & gardening, I had to have surgery. When I was trying to wake up in my room, I saw a bouquet of glads. In my groggy state, I was thinking that maybe I was dead and these were funeral flowers. :) That's the only place I'd ever seen them!<br /><br />I know your plank wall is going to be beautiful, as usual with your projects. The fireplace surround is perfect!!<br /><br />xoxo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.com
