Maybe wild ones, but the leaves still don't look right. I can't really tell what they are as there are so many. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/267074/ |

Looks like more of a wild flower mix to me. |

Julie said they don't look at all like glads in her first post. They do look quite a lot like frilly glads, whether they are or not, I don't know. Cheri |

Thanks for sharing the photos, tert. Leave it to bove, who seems to _always_ find complaints about anything and everything, no matter the circumstances!! Instead of saying something appreciative like, "what a lovely display of flowers," bove has to make the rather nasty comment that the flowers "don't look like gladiolus to me". No doubt bove is the expert to all things garden and green, especially when it regards her mostly rock-filled, bare backyard with a 'fancy' (cough, cough) firepit.
