The gladies are flowering again. I’ve planted about 70 bulbs in this patch and we didn’t think that they’ll flower this season. We thought we planted them too late, considering that the original several bulbs in that patch have already flowered by then, but I noticed that the stalks have come up during the last week, and some have already started flowering!

Quite chuffed to say the least.

I’ve got several colours this time not only the original red, but purples, pinks, peach, yellow and white.

This is the only “giant” variety of Euphorbia Milli I’ve got in my garden. its flowers are about an inch in diameter (many times larger than the usual variety) but the thing is, this plant normally has beige flowers, I have no idea how it morphed into this lovely bright pink colour!

I love it!
