The wild patch of grass, down by the pond, is studded with bulbs. After the daffodils and crocuses have finished, as the grasses grow taller, the camassias and gladioli start to punch through.
The camassias look like they are starting to spread themselves around. They liked the heat last summer I think!
The gladioli add some delicious pops of colour.
Mixed grasses, ox-eye daisies, buttercups, vetch, speedwell, yellow rattle and daisies form an ever-changing backdrop.

I can’t remember seeing gladioli growing wild like this. They’ve always been one of my least-favorite flowers, but I’ve usually seen them in those overblown bouquets provided for banquets and funerals. I suppose some varieties are bred for size and numbers of blooms, but these I really like.
🙂 Pleased you like these. I fell in love with them when we lived in the Canaries where they seem to have naturalised across the vegetation-colonised lava flows.
That’s gorgeous! The white Camassias stand out really well, and I love the idea of having pink gladioli in a meadow. 😃
🙂 Thanks Cathy!
This is so beautiful and inspiring, Allison. I love the pop of pink. I’ve not seen white camassia, it is quite delicate and pretty. I might be ordering some camassia this fall!
Glad to have given you an idea … albeit borrow from Christopher Lloyd 🙂
