Those are really pretty, I had a couple of deep maroon ones this year.
I love Glads Sherri, mine didn't do as well last year as in past years. I moved them and they didn't like it and squirrels dug up some for supper I guess.

They are absolutely beautiful. Mine did not do very well this year as I only had one to bloom. We have been in a drought. I think they make such a wonderful cut flower to stick in a bud vase to brighten up a room. Thank you . . . (I especially love your pink one.)

Oh my Sherry8
they are so pretty and I do not care whether some people say they are old-fashioned, I live them. 
You have quite a collection and the little bit of the rest of the garden that is visible in the photos looks interesting.
I especially love the pink ones - they look so dainty As if just kissed with a hint of pink. And the white ones are stunning.
Hope you do not mind, but my ones (I only have one colour) just started blooming and must still fill out as nicely as yours. This photo was taken in October.
Here it is 
I went back to photograph the galdioli in full bloom earlier this month and alas - my two naught gardeners ungardened it.

I really love the pure white ones. Oh dear I've begun a wish list again and I said I didn't have space for any more plants or bulbs in the garden. You're leading me into temptation Sherry!!

Beautiful blooms, all of them! I'm too lazy to have them, because I'll have to start them indoors and bring them back inside come october. I'm glad you're sharing yours.

Those are so pretty! I didn't get any blooms on mine this year, they were in the shade.
