Perhaps you all have seen a green gladiolus? I saw my first one today when I went outside. My daughter says she planted 4 last spring, and this one blossomed. The petals are deformed (you may have a nice word for that!) and the pistils or stamens are white. Another first today was in my window sill: one of my younger "amaryllis" has a bulbil growing out of the bottom of the pot and up the side! Carol
