Gladiolus MM 20-71

Seed parent: MM 11-36 (G. tristis X carneus)
Pollen parent: G. bonaspei

MM 20-71a. This is a cross between a pink hybrid and a red-yellow species, so I was very surprised to get a white flower, and I strongly suspected that a stray seed from another nearby cross had washed into this spot. But a similar surprise white hybrid showed up in another cross, so maybe this is a genuine cross telling me something about Gladiolus genetics.

MM 20-71b. This is more like what I expected from this cross.
