Can any one tell me what kind of flower this is? I found it at Michael's the other day but I would like to see if I can find it cheaper on the net. One problem no where on the tag does it say what it is.

I have about a million gladiolus's in my garden they are starting to bloom already. If you want to grow your own they are really easy to grow and there are also smaller ones I think they are gladiolus's too, but they might be called something different. They look exactly the same, but don't grow to like two feet tall. I find they don't last long as cut flowers, but we burnt the ends of some last year and set them in a vase with those glass marbles and it lasted for a week and a half and looked really cool if you're thinking about using them for centerpeices.

I am glad they were able to tell you. I have been packing and not getting on here, so im glad others know their plants.

Are you thinking of those for your bouquet LJ?

No I was thinking about useing them in the centerpiece's for the tables. But I didn't even want to try it out to see if I liked it if I couldn't find a better prices on the flowers. Thanks Ladies!

Gladiolas are quite tall, over 2 feet, so the centerpieces could be overwhelming. Glads work well in large arrangements to set in the front of a church or on a buffet table, however.

Yes they are very tall!

The center piece vases we have are 28 inches tall. I want them to look a little like this.

I love that arrangement, but aren't the gladioli too stiff to droop like those do in the picture? Wouldn't they just stick straight-up, or straight-out if you bent them over?

If I use these they will be fake. The one I have here is bendable and it stays how every you bend it. I'm going to try one flower arrangement b-4 I buy the rest of the flowers.
