Thank you guys for warm greeting!

2zeus, I hope in spring your leaves will be already turned yellow. Of course, you should cut them efore the new growth starts up.

Oh, I forgot; if you want to propagate them quickly, you'd better dig the corms out after vegetation is finished, separate the small daughter corms and again plant them.

By the way, we have some gladiolus species growing wild here in Armenia. They are very nice and very frost-hardy. Here is a pic of gladiolus kotschyanus. I hope it will be interesting for you.

Regards, Zhirair
