The other day I was looking for some Gladiolus pictures online, and ran across a Japanese website that has some pictures of first-generation hybrids of South African Gladiolus species. If you're a species bulb purist you won't find this at all appealing, but to me it was very interesting to see what happens when some of the species are crossed. It's amazing how much genetic variability there is in this genus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike
