Hi Jim, You see sources for homoglads and I've grown Gladiolus from seed that I believe falls in this category. There are pictures on the wiki hybrid page of some of the flowers grown from this seed which probably has Gladiolus huttonii in its parentage and Gladiolus tristis. They are really quite lovely and in my northern California garden reliable as well. I have some blooming at the moment. Your plant may fall in this category and is likely a hybrid. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue
