An old photo but it was the first time flowering for this species : Gladiolus splendens (seeds from SHS...)

They are also nearly totaly faded but also first flowering time for Gladiolus triphylus (seeds from V. Pilous), a very small gladiolus

Again, first time flowering, and I'm very proud of it : Gladiolus watsonioides (seeds from Seedy business)
I meet this gladiolus in 2005 in Mt Aberdare in Kenya. Such a lovely plant with nodding flower of bright red. It takes me some time to find a source to buy it. I finally get seeds which germinate well and now flowers  ;D Well, it's not as nice as in nature but I'm happy to get it and to know that it comes from Mt Kenya.

Flowering now   Gladiolus 'Gonolek', a cardinalis hybrid.  Bought as a growing plant from Kevin Hughes (Cally Gardens) at the Perth SRGC show in April.  I did not expect it to flower this year and was excited to see a flower spike starting.

I grew seeds named as Gladiolus papilio 'Ruby' many times, but none flowered red.

The corms I bought from Kelly Dodson's Far Reaches Farm in Port Townsend, Washington, have flowered - a rich deep red.  I had plans to save seeds and send them to the seed exchange, but my neighbourhood deer just ate them.  I'll replant them inside my deer fence, so next year I should have seeds to donate.

Paul:

Which is it.

G. alatus or G. equitans?

Arnold - I bought it as a bulb and as Gladiolus pulcherrimus! I’m pretty sure it’s alatus though- yet no scent that I can detect. It’s fairly diminutive too. Not that I havnt got a crush on it, lol

Paul

Right on the rose scented Gladiolus pulcherrimus.

Goldblatt states it is easily confused with G. alatus.  Look at the leaf.

"Gladiolus pulcherrimus has a plane ( sp), glabrous leaf blades that lack prominent venation. The leaves of G. alatus always have strongly raised veins with a scabridulous edge."
