Lavender Gladiolus

This lovely stalk of flowers was grown in a large metal tub this past summer. I originally planned to just have bulb flowers in there, but then I decided to toss in a thimble-full of wildflower seeds, and before I knew it, the tub was overflowing with gorgeous blossoms! This gladiolus was one of about a dozen that grew, and Steve and I were overwhelmed by their beauty! :)

By the way, for this image, I replaced the background with black to make the flowers stand out!
