Pollen parent: Gladiolus patersoniae
A marvelous cross! Each plant has a different mix of pastel colors. These flowers have the height and bud count of G. tristis, making them twice the size of many of my other Glad hybrids. I feel like this is the right direction for my Gladiolus breeding.

MM 15-83e. Wow, this has a very nice color and very complex markings.
MM 15-83f. Beautiful pale peach upper tepals with thin purple veins, and a huge splash of strawberry red below. When I first saw this one I nicknamed it "strawberry surprise." I am extremely pleased with it.
MM 15-83g. Another fantastic flower, even more vivid than its sibling above. If that one is "strawberry surprise," then this one must be "cranberry surprise."
MM 15-83h
The flowers open with a bit more yellow on the lower tepals (top flower), and then it fades gradually (lower flowers).
