Gladiolus trichonemifolius  Seeds     Gladiolus (from Latin, the diminutive of gladius, a sword) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae). Sometimes called the sword lily, the most widely-used English common name for these plants is simply gladiolus (plural gladioli or gladioluses). The genus Gladiolus contains about 260 species, of which 250 are native to sub-Saharan Africa, mostly South Africa. About 10 species are native to Eurasia. There are 160 species of Gladiolus endemic in southern Africa and 76 in tropical Africa. The fragrant flower spikes are large and one-sided. They make very good cut flowers. Gladiolus trichonemifolius grows to 30cm tall and has erect funnel-shaped cream to yellow flowers, usually tinged with pink or red during spring. The flowers are sweetly scented and open at night. They are well suited to pot culture and can therefore be taken inside at night time to enjoy the lovely fragrance.
