Description

“Pink Gladiolus After A Shower” is an original fine art floral photograph by Sandra Huston.

With Spring just around the corner, I decided to go through my archived photographs of flowers. I came across this beautiful capture of my pink gladiolus photographed after a summer rain shower and decided to add a rice paper textured layer for the public enjoy.

Fun Facts: Gladioli are part of the iris family, and there are over 255 species of them. They are most diverse in South Africa, where they originated, but now can be found all over the world including Africa, Madagascar, Europe, the Middle East, and America. Gladiolus symbolizes strength, integrity, remembrance and infatuation and you can grow them in a variety of colors including pink, purple, red, yellow, green, and orange. They can grow up to six feet tall in optimal conditions, and typically bloom in the summer. Gladioli are perennials that grow from corms, which are bulb-like structures. The corms should be planted in the spring after the frost has melted. Planting time determines bloom time, so instead of planting all of your gladiolus corms at the same time, purchase enough so you can plant a handful every week from spring through early-summer, this way you can extend their blooming time throughout your garden.
