Hi Paul:

Your photographs look very much like the illustration in "Gladiolus in
Southern Africa". If it's a summer growing species, I think G. mortonius is
it.

Dear Paul:

According to Goldblatt & Manning's ""Galdiolus in Southern Africa" it is

now

G. mortonius. It is a summer rainfall species from the eastern Cape.

Diana,

Thanks for the update on the name. Do you know if my pics are correct
though? I am still trying to work out if they ARE what I had them

labelled

(which I will change to G. mortonius once I am sure that they actually

are).

Does anyone grow this species and can confirm the ID?

Cheers.
