Thanks TK and Jiffy, Do Glad bulbs go bad after a certain amount of time if not kept cool?

David

i dunno that david. i've kept them for ages and planted and they've come up, then i've bought new ones, planted them right away, and they didn't. i kknow that they aren't "kept cool" once you plant them, it gets HOT here!!

I don't know either. Sorry.

Here are my bulbs I planted this year, I had my first bloom today, I was so pleased. This is my 4 year old beside them to show how tall they have gotten, she is about 45 inches tall.........



Her purple jammies match the bloom! lol

What a sweetie Karrie!!!

Thanks Triss. She loves to go out with me first thing every morning and look for new blooms. Its a nice way to start out day.

I have my first set of glad buds. Cannot wait to see their color!

I went home to Indy this last 4 days and the glads I planted last year were breath takeing! The color was so vivid and beautiful. I had red ones with white centers and white ones. My grandfather passed away so I cut several spikes of each put a red white and blue ribbon on them and placed them with him (He was a soldier) We had more compliments on them then we did any other flowers there. I cannot wait to go back this fall and dig those bulbs.

My first bloom turned out to be a beauty.
