>I wonder whether the scented gladiolus might be what used to be known as >Acidanthera, as they have sweetly scented flowers. No, it's not that one - I grow that one also. This mystery one isn't sweetly-scented. I've been looking at lots of pictures of gladiolus, and it is Gladiolus nanus, most likely an unnamed one. -- Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada maritime zone 8 cool mediterranean climate (dry summer, rainy winter - 68 cm annually) sandy soil
