Hi,

Here is the last page:

I added pictures from Cameron of another former Homoglossum, Gladiolus 
teretifolius . It looks quite pretty, but the Gladiolus book says most of 
its habitat is disappearing. It also blooms early in the rainy season 
meaning in places like mine the rain would probably get it.

I also added pictures of a new species from Cameron, G. vaginatus. There 
are additional habitat pictures of Gladiolus virescens and a habitat 
picture of G. tristis from taken in 2003.

Before I started growing bulbs seriously Gladiolus were some of my 
favorites. I don't seem to be able to go back however as like Max I really 
like the species I grow much better than the ones that have been manipulated.
