In flower now is Gladiolus caeruleus.  Seed originated from Silverhill Seeds.  Does not seem to increase very much and so far has never set seed.

A beautiful Gladiolus Mike, such a different colour for the genus. Is it fragrant? Perhaps at night?

Gladiolus anatolicus is not seen often, it is a small sized species very similar to G. triphyllus from Cyprus.

Superb as all S Africans. Is it easy in cultivation? I'm growing only Eurasian gladiolus species. Single S African in my collection is G. flaneganii (I hope it alived this winter, still didn't come up, but I have only second year seedlings, so my experience is very short).

I find it difficult to grow well.  Its in an open, unheated alpine house in a pot.  The bulbs do not seem to be increasing in size or producing any bulbils.  I must try harder.

Edit by Maggi: Roland wrote,( in the lilium thread) about needing to be exact in naming plants  
Quote

sometimes it is good to be exact   Grin
a good example is Gladiolus communis ssp. byzantinus
and Gladiolus italicus
first it was Gladiolus byzantinus ssp. byzantinus
and Gladiolus byzantinus ssp. italicus
in the trade they made it less complicate
just Gladiolus byzantinus
at the end if you buy in the trade Gladiolus byzantinus ssp. byzantinus
you almost sure get Gladiolus italicus   Sad Sad

and Roland showed these two Gladiolus photos to illustrate his words :
Gladiolus communis ssp. byzantinus
226863-0


226865-1
Gladiolus italicus_03
and then Armin replied, as below and so this discussion was moved to a Gladiolus thread!   8)





Roland,
I fully comply with you.

The Gladiolus are lovely. 8)
Which of the species produces seed with wings (C. communis?)? Do you know?
I collected 2 kind of seeds in Korfu, with and without wings.
Both germinated.

I don't know
I multiply these by bulblets
Plants from G.italicus appear 1-2 weeks earlier
and are 1/3 - 1/2 smaller as G.byzantinus
