Gladiolus MM 03-02

Seed parent: Gladiolus tristis
Pollen parent: Gladiolus MM 00-00a

MM 03-02a. This was a very interesting result. MM 00-00a is a very nice magenta flower with subtle mottled markings on it. With this cross, I was hoping to get that magenta color on the large flowers of G. tristis. Instead, the magenta color was darkened, and reduced to a series of streaks and speckles. They're not the most spectacular flowers, but are very interesting.
