Q.Gladiolus plants
My Glads look great and are ready to bloom but I noticed this morning that something is eating the buds before they can open. Do you know what pest does this? I’ve searched and can find nothing, please help!

This could be a squirrel or other four-legged critter. Squirrels unfortunately have a taste for Gladiolus. Here is some advice:
