Very beautiful.
Is this in the ground or in a pot?
Are they the same as Acidanthera Murielae - Gladiolus Callianthus.
I grew some of these in a pot for the first time this year, and all I have is loads of leaves. No flowers. What went wrong?

Jacque ~
When planted in position, are they in good rich damp soil, or poor dry soil?
In sunshine? We all want to know your secrets! :o)

Mine didn't flower so came out of their pots for winter storage.:o(
If you started yours in pots, at what stage did you move them to the flower bed? I would like to think that if I tried again next year, I got some flowers this time. :o)
How about you Lynwoodview. Any tips, please, on getting these to flower, rather than just loads of green upright leaves ? :o(

I reckon your success is due to the way Summer watered them for you. :o) :o) :o)
