Hi everyone,

I'm pulling up some gladiolus that didn't give me much pleasure this last season to make room for new things. Some of them have strange little round things growing on the underside of the bulbs. I'm wondering if these are some type of disease that needs to be dealt with before I plant my new bulbs (lilies and daffs), and if it's something dangerous that might spread?

In truth, most of the glads didn't do well this season but I attributed that to them being overcrowded by wildflowers and the fact that I bought them in a discount store where they might have been shipped because they were more than a year old. Now I'm wondering if there's something else wrong? Pictures below--the things are the little, roundish, white things that look like miniature seaweed pods. Hoping it's nothing...
