Got this earlier this year from a generous Forum member from down under.

Gladiolus pappei - merely 25 cm high !  :D :D

Thanks Dave !!!!  ;)
This isn't a gladi that i grow but it's very nice.What amazed me when i first started growing the sp glads is how small the corms are when the flower,only ever having hybrid corms,i was blown away.

Jim, you can store the corms indoors for the winter under frost free conditions.

You haven't seen my bill yet Luc ! ;D ;D ;D ;)
(Just kidding).

You have done well to 'turn it around ' as i remember the corms had roots forming when i forwarded them.

One of the early ones for me is Glady recurvus which is currently out in bloom --took some pics last weekend but they aren't that flash so will have another go tomorrow....

Cheers dave.

Yummy clear photo of the Schizostylis  Poul--(I'm not going there David .... ::  ;D)

Bright yellow Romulea diversiformis ,followed by in the same pot, a seedling of a paler colour which has remained consistent.

Cheers Dave.

Roland

Thanks Roland.
I've marked the plant to collect and sow seed later in the hope the youngsters come true.

Here's a close up of Gladiolus recurvus i mentioned earlier. I had to twist the flowering stem around the metal frame to get a decent shot.

Cheers Dave.

Sorry, Peter, I don't know - they weren't mine.
The purplish ones are Babiana but the blue one might be an Aristea.
I have 2 forms of P. triste - the second has a bit of red in the petal.
cheers

Fermi if you ever get a bit of extra on the Pelargonium triste I would love to try it. I did grow a plant from seed many years ago and I think that had a bit of red. The perfume was divine. Back in my early days of growing bits and pieces from seed.
