| The gladiolus has three anthers, three stigmas. And interesting shadows. |

Purple glad
One of my gladiolus stems broke off in the wind, so I brought it inside and took the opportunity to look down its throat.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
