Seed parent:
Gladiolus 00-00a (
Gladiolus gracilis v. gracilis X
priorii)
Pollen parent:
Gladiolus carinatus
I've often had nice results crossing a species with a hybrid, and this is a great example. Gladiolus 00-00a is a magenta hybrid, while
G. carinatus is light purple and yellow. The combination of them has produced a very nice range of colors and patterns, some of which remind me of Alstroemerias.
I think the photos speak for themselves:
MM 11-14a. This one has dark magenta tips and a white center.
MM 11-14b. Purple with speckles in the throat.
MM 11-14d. Check out the yellow in the throat of this one.
MM 11-14f. Very pale with nice pink-magenta markings.
MM 11-14g. Lighter purple. Can you see the faint turquoise stripe the midline of the tepals? It's more obvious in person.
