HEADS OR TAILS?

 

Gently sprinkled with pollen... From the front, from the back, ALWAYS beautiful.

The waiting buds only just peeping out.

Summer is leaving us in a flurry of colour

Named for the shape of their leaves, like blades, gladioli – from the Latin word “gladius,” meaning sword – have a history than spans from Africa to the Mediterranean.

Symbolising strength and moral integrity, gladioli also represent infatuation, with a bouquet conveying to a recipient that they pierce the giver’s heart with passion. How romantic!
