No, under glass Gerd because I understand it's less tolerant of wet conditions than most Eurasian species. I just moved it outside because it was in an awkward position to photograph.Do you grow this one? The blue-violet colour is attractive but I had expected it to be darker from the Grey-Wilson & Mathews description and the photos in Phillips & Rix and Janis' books.
Very nice Gladiolus triphyllus - seems to be a smaller species.Here two species are in flowerGladiolus illyricus and a pale form of Gladiolus italicus
Have never seen a white spider before. So well camoulaged no wonder the other chap was caught.
Another Gladiolus from today -Gladiolus triphyllus - originally from CyprusGerd
