Uli The Gladioli came as G. alatus which it is not. The three Gladiolus that are very much alike are: G. cunonius G. splendens G. saccatus. Descriptions in the new Saunders book describe the subtle differences. G. cunonius; upper lateral tepals point upwards, lower tepals curve upwards G. splendens: upper tepasl point upwards, lower tepals point down G. saccatus: perianth tube has a sac-like spur at base, upper lateral tepals do not point upwards I'd be very pleased if someone could confirm the ID of this Gladiolus. I've attached a couple of images of the bulb in question. AS you cna see I'm not sure of it's name.
