These are in my neighbors flower garden and she doesnt know the name of them. I want to find some for my garden but I need to know the name of the to do that. She said they came from a seed packet that she just dumped on the ground.

Answers:
Hey, this flower is a bulb called a Gladiolus (glads for short) . In region 3 they are perineals but in colder climates you need to lift them up store them in a warm place, then replant in spring. Here in Texas I can keep them in the ground. I have about 30 or so, and I am planting anouther 40 more. If you plant them about 2 weeks apart you will have longer blooming time. They make great cut flowers, my 10 year old and I keep them staked because when the wind gets up we worry that they will snap off.

Hope this helps you out.


Looks like Hollyhock to me
gladiolas
These are gladiolas, a.k.a. "glads". Been around since long before my grandmother's time. I believe they may be annuals but don't quote me on that.
the red flower in the center is gladiolus, surrounded by different roses. I wish I could help you with the white flower, too.
Gladiolus have flower bulbs
They are gladiolas. Here is a site that will help you grow them:

this plant comes in a bulb type not seed,type in search flowers.com you'll see it most likely
those are gladiolas, gorgeous flowers that come in many colors, and are great cut floweres. as far as i know, they are a bulb, not seed grown.
The first picture is a rose. The second picture is gladiolus. The glads are usually easy to grow and come in bulb form.. They normally come back every year. Not sure if they have to be dug up during winter months and replanted in spring but more than likely they do... Hope this helps. If it is not a glad sure looks like one to me..
The first photo shows roses, a red hibiscus, and a white gladiolus. The second photo is gladioluses/gladioli.

None of those flowers grow from seed, though. Glads grow from corms, which look a little like bulbs.
They are gladiolas.I never seen them in seed form,they sure look like glads to me.
