A scan of a page from a sketchbook. In the upper right corner is a drawing of a red dress with many frillings. It's paired with navy blue shoes, bag, shawl and lipstick. In the lower left corner is a sketch of red sword lilies in a small vase on a dark navy blue background

My mom's dress idea and my painting idea based on the same bouquet of flowers. They are called sword lilies. Maybe I'll make them into a painting in the future.

haiku about the invasive sword lily in my garden~ bulbous roots entwined below colonizing crushing & ungardening sword lily marches on coupled to image of the section of the garden it was cleared from & the huge pile of material headed to the compost heap image (c )ilinkcs all rights reserved

the dreaded sword lily crushes the garden again!
two days of back breaking digging & cleaning it out of the beds
loving the feel of dirt & mud

Gladiolus - Sword Lily

After beating route
to find this rare poison shoot
found bloom in pieces.

Spied one unfurling
tall on private property
but too steep to peep.

Almost mazed by mischievous piskey into thinking Gladiolus Sword Lily was foxglove!

A macro photo of a pink and white gladiola flower with water droplets on the petals. The flower is in front of a black background to give it a stark contrast.

A gladiola I grew. 😊
