Gladiola is the August birth flower
In variously colored shades.
Pink to reddish, light purple to white
White to cream, orange to red.

A striking garden flower or a cut flower at times
Elongated foliage and funnel shaped.
Gladiolus defines remembrance
Stands for loyalty and strength of character.

The hidden message of the Gladiolus
Love at first sight.
Used mainly by lovers
To convey their romantic feelings.

The language of flowers is a special one
Expressing love and affection.
A gift to celebrate a special occasion
The significance ever so true.

The August flower is a trademark one
The apex of any garden.
Combining end of summer and start of fall
A colorful mix reserved by nature
In their fullest and finest bloom.

The August month a time of celebration
From one continent to the next.
The gladiolus assigned for this specific month
A trend to be continued forever
With its long lasting and fragrant flowers.

Maria Franco
