Gladiolus MM 14-105

Seed parent: Gladiolus watsonius
Pollen parent: Gladiolus patersoniae

G. watsonius is a beautiful species, with bright red or scarlet flowers subtly mottled with lighter shades. I thought crossing it with the purple G. patersoniae would produce magenta flowers, but that's not the case here. It's possible that the parent flower was actually self-pollinated.
