Pollen parent: MM 14-105d (G. watsonius x patersoniae)
By crossing a red flower onto a blue species, I think I was hoping to get a magenta version of the bright red pollen parent.
MM 21-500a. The color is what I expected (a general rule in Gladiolus breeding appears to be: red x blue = magenta). Unfortunately, these flowers are narrower than the nicely wide pollen parent.
MM 21-500b. Interesting, this one is much more bluish.
