BEAUTY in PURPLE… GLADIOLI

Gently sprinkled with pollen...

These are a beautiful soft purple.

The waiting buds only just peeping out.

Summer was slowly 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 that 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!
