I am NOT advocating leaving glad corms in the ground if you want to keep them alive for the next season. I have had baby corms winter over but never have had a full sized blooming bulb make it. I had another bed that very same winter where I didn't get the glads dug and not one survived.

I too will be interested in seeing if your orange glads are jump out and bite you orange or if they are ho-hum orange.

I might look for some glads for this years beds which will be rather bare since several of them are new.

Come on spring...just 2 months til this beauty starts its show again.
