Quote from: Lesley Cox on October 20, 2011, 09:28:01 PM
The Gladiolus tristis shown here is very interesting to me as the form we have in NZ is all pale lime-green to cream, with slight brown striping on the backs of the petals but last night at a talk we were shown one very similar to yours Heinie, as liliaceus (if I heard correctly) even though tristis had been ordered. Does tristis vary much in S. Africa, with larger or smaller amounts of the brown colouring? The one we saw I first thought was maculatus, before we were told otherwise.

My own tristis is mostly like you describe Lesley but some of mine have a bit of colour and I'd be interested to hear of the wild variations too. I agree Heinie's looks a bit like liliaceus. Without a scale it is hard to tell. My own plants of tristis have slightly bigger flowers than maculatus - but rather smaller than liliaceus. Also, liliaceus changes colour at night (from brown to mauve) and develops its scent in the evening as it changes. As well as being smaller maculatus stays the same colour day & night, is scented during the day, and here at least it flowers very early - usually Christmas - whereas the other two flower rather later. According to Goldblatt, maculatus is not that closely related to liliaceus, so the resemblance is coincidental.

Baeometra uniflora raised from NZAGS seedex.

While the flowers are small ,about the width of my thumb ,the blooms are of an unusual colouring.

Cheers Dave.

Hello Roland

Not sure. 
My records show sown 04 ,(and a note that it germinated quickly),and i think this is it's 3rd or 4th year of bloom.

Cheers Dave.
