How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Gladioli

Pls help..flowers die & then something like a bulb or nut pops up in the same plc of once flower, what is it?? What do i do ? The flowers r fabulous.
These are just seedpods. It’s normal once the flower stop blooming. They will not re-bloom this year.
We planted glads for the first time last year, and were thrilled with the results! We dug up the corms, which had grown in size, saved them in the house over the winter, and replanted this spring. They are blooming, but the color is remarkably different. All the bloomers so far are a much-faded yellow with a tinge of pink in the middle of the flower. We did have over a week of early extreme heat here in Zone 5. Could that have altered the color? Thank you!
Every once in a while we get a question like this: why does a flower come back a different color, and there is no good answer. It’s probably nothing you did (or did not do). It happens and we are at a loss to explain why. If anyone has an answer, please share.
Love glads- but property soil is not ideal. Using a raise palnter box this yr, and purchased many bulbs! Would like to know the best depth of soil, or depth of planter box or other container for gladiolas. I used some in a very deep and big pot, and wondering if its not a good thing to have the soil too deep, as roots growing down might take the inertia of the stalk/blooms growing upward? thanks
