Iris and Gladioli progress

I know my blog posts have become rather gardening-heavy just at the moment, possibly because things are growing quickly and the garden is changing every day.  You can just see a purple petal starting to emerge in the photo I took yesterday.

 

The gladioli flowers have opened and there is a pink pattern inside, although the outer petals are more of a salmon/apricot than white.

Here is the iris as it was this morning - showing more of the deep purple/blue flower that is going to bloom in the next day or so.  It goes well with the geranium that is sprawling all over the top of the pot.

The gladioli this morning, with another flower open, and a few more still to come.
