    Its crazy! One minute I was worried my Canna would’t flower now I worry it won’t stop flowering as we approach winter. Not sure if it frosted or rained last night.
    Thats a lovely Gladioli G.G

    Thanks everyone, it was quite a surprise when I saw it. Carolyn, I don't pull them as so far since we have lived on the Isle of Wight we have had fairly temperate winters. My cannas are in pots though and I will give them some shelter during the winter. They are still in bloom as well!

    What a total surprise GG!
    It is a surprise to see him blooming now...and what a lovely tint of orange. I like orange flowers.
    BTW--great to see you. How is life way out there?

    Beautiful color GG! How fortunate you are to live in such a temperate area.

    Say GG--Would you mind posting some pics of your new yard/garden. I wonder how it is looking there.
