Gladiolus
Common names: gladiolus, glad, gladioli.
Gladiolus , sometimes called the sword lily, is a genus of flowering plants, iris family (Iridaceae).
Gladioli have been extensively hybridized and a wide range of ornamental flower colours are available from the many varieties.
Tall, tightly packed spikes of six to eight blossoms open in sequence from the bottom, so they make very good cut flowers.
The 2- to 8-inch-wide florets bloom in one direction with sword shaped foliage on stems.
Gladiolus lend itself to almost any type of style from the use of a full stem to provide height to a tall arrangement or individual florets for corsage and wedding flower work.
Gladiolus last seven to 10 days and are available in a wide variety of colors including white, green, cream, yellow, buff, orange, salmon, pink, red, lavender,
purple, blue and terra cotta. |
