Gladiolus involutus
David Fenwick

Here's a shy bulb to flower, I must have had it five years and it hasn't done a lot, this year, well it's flowered. The reason, well I don't actually know, but I've been experimenting with the feed, and I've been using 1 part of urea to 20 parts water for all my winter rainfall irids. There are quite a few Tritonias coming into bud as well at the moment and despite the poor cold winter here. I think I might be on to something.
