Then yesterday I discovered a couple of hard boiled eggs that we did for
the
journey back from Spain the other week, and I am wondering just how long
they will keep

What on earth anyone would do with a hard-boiled egg of any age or
maturity is beyond me....

Eat it.

Any Comments from anyone.

Glads here in USDA zone 7b (average lowest temperature 5-10F [-15 to
-10C]) are marginal for survival. Some years, plants come back; other
times they disappear. Or maybe a squirrel ate them.

I'd definitely toss the eggs.

I don't know why anyone wants gladioli anyway ...

Well if freshly boiled they make very good hand warmers in the winter and
stay warm for almost half hour.
I used to do this when I was younger and walking to work, then when almost
there shell them and eat...........2 hand warmers and breakfast for the
price of 2 eggs. (Not quite "going to work on an egg").

Oh? Well, different tastes and all that. Personally, I find Gladiolus
papillo absolutely enchanting.

At least you can toss gladioli to the 'possums.
