The funeral flower!
Beautiful, stiff, and long-lasting, it became a staple of floral bouquets at funerals. Less so as wedding bouquets - too stiff and upright. I've had a love-hate thing for "glads" because of funerals. Take away that association, and I love-hate them only because the bulbs have to be dug up, stored all winter, and replanted every spring, unlike tulips. Yeah, for all my gardening efforts. low-maintenance is my favorite. Great photos! And... they're wedding white! Good for floral arrangements at the altar.
I never did associate glads with funerals and I can see why you would have the love-hate thing going on with them. Yup, gardening can be a lot of work and it sounds like you have done your share. Low maintenance is my favorite too. Thanks again for your compliment on my photos. : )
You're most welcome, and thank you for your many insightful comments!
