Topic: Gladiolus bulb is looking weird

[duh]

I should have snapped a picture before I put it in the ground.  I never think of these things in time.  Anyway while I was messing with the foundation bed I decided to dig up the glad that was buried under the ditch lily clump.  I got it out and it was surrounded by little white nodules.  It also had a baby bulb attached.  Anyone know what I am talking about?

Those are baby glads. All of them. They can be brought up to blooming size in a few years time. I have older glads in the ground all of the time. They have little babies growing all around them. Some of those have bloomed after a few years. They can also be stored over cold climate winters like normal full sized bulbs and replanted every year until they get to blooming sizes.

[duh]

How cool is that.  There must be like 20 of them.  I'm excited.  I would love to have that many red glads.  I'm certainly willing to wait.
