Or, "Gladiolios" as my sister would call them. They are in bloom now. I have always had a warm spot in my heart for them because my mom used to plant them in the backyard at the house I grew up in. Course, being a young couple, she could only afford a few, and so she spaced them out to get maximum spread for the color and dollar.
I have learned to clump my glads so they hold each other up. I have a preference for the deep red ones. I also like ones with ruffled edges. My husband has a talent for picking the unusual ones.
I don't know a ton about glads, but I do enjoy them when they're blooming. They do increase and multiply but I haven't dug these in a couple of years. A big bulk of them are in pots that you can't see in the photos. It helped to create a barrier from animals running through the bed.
Enjoy!
