Of course, Homoglossum has now been outmoded as a name – they’re grouped back with the Gladioli. Sort of a shame, though. Homoglad is pretty catchy. According to the PBS wiki it’s Gladiolus huttonii × tristis now.

My family had a wholesale florist business when I was growing up and your first photo in this blog entry reminded me of those days. We used to get 3 foot long icicles off the ends of the greenhouses. Needless to say we had swordfights and spear chucking contests. Great fun. Thanks again for a link back to past memories.
