Michael - absolutely beautiful. I have been wanting to grow Gladiolous gracilis. Can you tell me how I may obtain seeds or corms? ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Mace<mailto:mikemace@att.net> To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org<mailto:pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 1:36 AM Subject: [pbs] Hello, stranger! Back in 2003, I mentioned on the list that I'd just had the first flower from a hybrid bulb I'd crossed: Gladiolus gracilis x G. priorii. Cathy Craig suggested that I post a picture to the wiki, but I didn't have a digital camera at the time, so I never followed through. In the years since, I thought I had lost the hybrid. But this week there was a flower in a pot whose tag had been lost, and sure enough it was that hybrid again. This time I have a digital camera, so I posted a photo to the wiki. It's at the bottom of the Gladiolus hybrids page: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…<http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> Gladiolus gracilis is pale blue, and G. priorii is scarlet. Their offspring has an appealing dark magenta color that's washed through the flower like watercolor paint. It's a pretty little thing.
