The Gladiolus
Grew near my bedroom window
Colorful sword flower
Haiku
The small house I grew up in as a child was bordered on one side with gladiolus and hollyhock planted by my mother.
My Mother was born on August 25th. She loved Gladiolus and
Gladiolus is the birth flower for August.
It’s lovely to remember looking out my bedroom window and viewing many colors of tall gladiolus and hollyhocks.
Such a nice memory to recall as I begin the month of August 🙂
