Book review of "GLADIOLUS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA "
Robt R Pries (Tue, 07 Aug 2007 06:15:20 PDT)

I try to get any book that Peter Goldblatt works on
since he seems to be able to combine an authoritative
approach and still be readable. How can anyone say a
book is complete if they are less an authority on the
topic thatn the author. I can only say I have never
not found something that I expected to be there.

Good morning to all,

I am not sure if this topic has been addressed, but
here goes.
Does anyone in the group own a copy of GLADIOLUS IN
SOUTHERN AFRICA, did you
find it to be comprehensive, informative and a
complete guide to Southern
Africa's Gladiolus. Would you purchase again?

Regards,
Fred in Pahoa, HI

L. sanguinea has come and gone. I did not recognize
it when it came up, not

having seen it before. I don't think anybody grows
it here in the Chicago
area, except maybe at the botanic garden. Boyce?.
Not the big trick will
be to see if it continues. It had no mulch last
year, so will do exactly
the same thing this year.

The Wiki confirmed my best guess as to its identity.
The color,
conformation and shorter anthers nail it down.

Adam:

This is not a definitive suggestion, but a
speculation. My L. sanguinea
have always been in full sun. I'm not so sure this
is good. They are
much shallower rooted than other Lycoris, having
very small foliage, and
the flower shows "burn" damage by noon of the first
day it is open. If I
had my way about it, I would give it 60% shade all
the time, or
deciduous shade that was fully shaded by 10 AM
during the summer. I
mulch mine here in zone 6.
