Good morning, Alexandra and Ron - resplendent seems to be the ideal word choice for this photo and for the post.

Good morning, Alexandra... simply divine that color! I always think of gladiolus as a funeral flower... but in that color I would not!

I love gladiola's. I had lots in my garden. Red was a favorite. Those are beautiful.

That's an amazing hue those blossoms enjoy, Alexandra. The color almost seems like it came from another realm.

Oh, those are stunning, Alexandra! I don't think I've ever seen glads in fuchsia and I love the color so much more than the typical blue/purple we see here.

Debe Maxwell, CRS I agree this is quite the color. They remind me of a French restaurant in Los Angeles. They would a big bunch in a square vase at the entry. A
