I'm drooling along with Glenda!! Those glads are really stunning. Could you name your glads for us please so that we can keep an eye out in the shops for them.

What a wonderful selection of colours, some of which I haven't seen before. Is that last cream one a double flower? Very unusual.

403 FALENOPSIS; 461 LOVE ME TENDER; 401 NEPRIKLAUSOMYBE;
423 NERINGA; 413 SAULES TAKAS; 510 SUSAPNUOTAS AUKSAS.
Only Saules Takas isn't my variety (hybridizer Balcikonis).

Those are very pretty Vivasvat. I am drawn to the second one...it is so different from any Glads I have seen.

I am not only drooling, I am green with envy. Glads are my favorite flower, and those are luscious. My 86 year old Mom is always amazed with the new colors of flowers, she would be absolutely astounded if she saw these.

Yes< You are right. It is very interesting giant (1,60 metre - 68 inches). It will be at NAGC auction in January 2009

Vivasvat, those are stunning! Thank you for the colour boost.  And good luck with propagating or auctioning them.
What does "Saules Takas" mean? I've got a lily called "Saules Meita", which I'm told means the Sun's Daughter.

"Saules Meita" - this is in latvian, and - yes, the sun's daughter, but may be the sun's girl too.
"Saules Takas" - this is in lithuanian (those languages are kindred), and it means "The Sun's Track"
  
  
  
315 BISANTIAN GOLD, 303 DRUGELIU SOKIS (=Dancing Butterflies), 423 RUDENS PEIZAZAS
465 PAVELAVUSI MEILE (=The Late Love), 401 SVOBODNAYA RUS (= Free Russia...), 375 SUNDAY MORNING
411 KARALIAUCIUS, PASTEL PRINCE, and seedling without the name.
'Svobodnaya Rus' - "Free Russia" - I denominate for Russian demokracy. It is very new my tricolor variety (white, red and violet, nearly like russian flag), and it will be registered and introduced only in 2010.
'Karaliaucius' - the name of lithuanian town by the Baltic sea. This town was occupied at the end of World War II by soviets and renamed to Kaliningrad. It is under occupation now

Gee, those are even lovelier than the first ones you showed!  I'm not a gladiolus person myself, because they have to be dug up in winter, but my, I appreciate their loveliness.

I love your clickable photos. That way I can get lost in all that wonderful colour.
