Gladiolus huttonii (2)

Wow! This is going to my favourites. What a beautiful flower!

Beautiful!!!
I'm fascinated Wylie where is it growing looks like roof tiles ?

Thanks! I have an old oven attached to my house. You walk into the chimney and there, in the back, is an oven that is lined in volcanic rocks. The tiles are on top of the oven part, and the grey background is the chimney. I put some board over the tiles so I could put pots there. It gets lots of sun, but is exposed to the wind coming from the north (fortunately, I've never lost a pot to the wind). The walk-in space also has a B-B-Q area, and all the fumes and smoke go up the chimney instead of into the house. Too much heat goes up the chimney, so it isn't practical for a fireplace.
