And Brian, *that* had crossed my mind - but they flowered early end of May
last year!! I have checked the green spike leaves closely and cant see
anything resembling a flower forming. But will wait and see!

Tracy, a chap withan allotment near me has a lot of gladioli in one
part of his plot, left in overwinter. They are nowhere near flowering
so maybe Brian is right and you may get flowers later.
Others have commented on things being late this year, so don't give up
hope yet.
