Was Acidanthera bicolor, now Gladiolus murielae, sometimes Abyssinian gladiolus, occasionally Peacock Orchid, consistently beautiful.

Very beautiful indeed.
The weather has been any but beautiful up here today with lots of rain, low temperature and low cloud/haar.
My mood is very much “on the edge” at the moment due to this impending blinking idependence nonsense!

Stay calm mate, it will be sorted out very soon, one way or the other. Bad weather doesn’t help either does it? Keep your chin up 🙂

It is gorgeous and smells heavenly but have you ever got it to flower again the following year? I’ m blowed if I can.

I haven’t been able to get them to flower again, either. If there’s a trick, I’d like to know it! They are beautiful, though, by whatever name.

No rain in sight here yet.
I remember the huge gladioli fields here 30 years ago. Gone now, but they were lovely. They also had a gladiola festival in Oregon each year. Lovely.

I would like to find a website or a book which explains the reasons for name changes, do you know of one? Lovely flower too!
