Gladiolus gracilis

Thanks Alan for your comment. I still have to check if the other plants flowering in the same pot are G. gracilis or recurvus. As I have never ordered any G. recurvus, it can't be an odd seed jumped from a pot to another one close (it has happened already !), so I guess they came here mislabelled at the source.

Hello,
The Gladiolus in question is definitely Gladiolus recurvus. Very close to G gracilis but recurved petals as can be seen in the photo.
