Aberrant Gladiolus watermeyeri

[Emil Friend]

From a seed batch of G. watermeyeri blooming for the first time this year, several show flowers within normal range, but one is exceedingly pink-veined, and the lower petals are quite different. This seed came from BX478, item 161 from James Heinrich. Can anyone identify if this is just a different species, or suggest what the hybrid mix might be?

Whatever the case may be... FANTASTIC!
