Planted Gladiolus for Next Year

I truly love the look of Foxglove, Gladiolus, and other tall stalks with multi-flowers. They just make me so happy when they're blooming. I've never planted Gladiolus before and I actually found these at Costco in the Spring but they're supposed to be planted in the Fall. So... here I am!

I choose these to replace the Echinacea that I had to pull out due to Asters Yellow and will see what these bulbs do. I'm too cautious that the Asters Yellow disease is hanging out in the soil, so I'm very reluctant to plant any perennials until I can do more research as to how its spread and what types of flowers and perennials it affects. We'll see how that goes.

I planted the first 30, and still have 20 bulbs left, I'm going to put those bulbs in a different spot, possibly in my front yard where I know there's full sun next to my front door (where I have a lot of milkweed!). I'm really excited for these flowers to peek out with bright blooms above a bright green elephant ear hosta. This season isn't even done yet and I'm already looking forward to next year!
