Bulbs: Anyone got blooming glad pics?, 1 by sundry

I bought Comet for my sister, who is a big LSU fan. She loves the purple and gold flowers. =)

I've been a bit disappointed in the glads, too. Thing is, years ago we had a bed full of big flowered beautiful glads - all different colors. No names, mind you, just big beautiful flowers.

Eventually the trees grew and shaded the yard and all the glads died out. =( Recently, we've had to take down a couple of trees, so I have some small areas of full sun. Now I want them back!

The ones I've bought just don't measure up to those from the past. (do they ever???) I'm going to keep on trying, tho.

This is a bad picture of Blue Tropic. It's the only one that's bloomed so far, and it got broken in last night's weather. The color is hard to capture . . . this is pretty close, but not exact.
