Dear All, Very helpful. Thank you. I am confident that it is a hybrid Nanus. I have two slightly different forms of a G. cardinalius hybrid where the basic petal colour is red rather than salmon pink. Also, I believe cardinalis hybrids have a silver flush to the back of the petals, which both mine have. Amanda Mahy looks very good and I am happy to go with that ID. Very many thanks, Ashley __________________________ Ashley Mooney t:- 021 0416930 e:- ashleymooneynz@gmail.com On Sat, Nov 20, 2021 at 6:03 PM Laura Grant via pbs < pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > I have a very similar Glad that was sold to me as Amanda Mahy. > Laura > Niagara on the Lake > Ontario > > On Fri, Nov 19, 2021 at 9:17 PM Mary Sue Ittner via pbs < > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > > > I think it looks like one I grow that is one of the Gladiolus hybrids > > that in the trade is referred to as Gladiolus nanus because of their > > short stature.
