Thank you, Jay. I'm so glad that this forum is still so active! I miss the early days when Spike was the moderator and there were a lot more busy forums.

You're welcome! I believe Spike was already gone by the time I became an active member.

This easily read profile covers various key points pretty well: Gladiolus murielae - Wikipedia

Thank you, Embothrium!

Ooh - this reminded me I planted some of these bulbs a couple of years ago and the blooming lasted a long time - now I wonder if I can remember where I planted them...?
