Gladiolus Italicus (Common Gladiolus)
--------------------------------------

Gladiolus = 'Little Sword' referring to the shape of the leaves.
Italicus = of Italian origin, relating to Italy (Latin)

Gladiolus italicus has a broad distribution from southern Europe to parts of Asia growing on rocky hillsides, grassy areas, open forests and in fields. It flowers from March to July. It is distinguished from other European Gladiolus by having anthers that are longer than the filaments. Flowers are loosely arranged and facing various directions, pale pink as well as purple-pink to magenta with a pale blotch outlined in purple on the lower lobes. There are 5 to 15 flowers on the spike

Hi David,
Absolutely fresh, healthy Gladiolus! Here, perhaps for the the lack of water or a poor, rocky soil, you can not find a so dense plant. Excellent colours, details, composition and specimen.

Hello David,
I've always admired this beautiful Gladiolus when I've come across it in the Mediterranean countries. It is very beautiful and seems to grow like a weed in places. This is a very beautiful capture of a whole bunch of them, all in focus and details are sharp. Lovely colours too!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Wonderful colours and details. Over here they have to be carefully nurtured. But I like the delicacy of the native ones much more
