Author Topic: looking for a certain gladiolus fairierose Garden Helper Member # 10124 posted                       I am looking for a gladiolus that is a peach with a little yellow and an edge of orange with a purple stamen. I have been searching books and the internet but haven't found it. The blooms were in a funeral arrangement for my mother (her favorite colors were orange and yellow). I would love to purchase some bulbs for my garden next summer. Anyone know what the name might be or where I can search?

It is the only one I recall being similar to your description. Joanne Posts: 302 | From: York, PA | Registered: Apr 2006  |  Logged: 64.78.120.163 jonni13 Garden Pro!

I'll keep on file though because they are certainly beautiful.

They sure are pretty. I don't have an answer to your question either fairierose. I just thought I would stop in since I have a few glads so I'm always interested in the topic. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Logged: 4.249.78.35 njoynit Garden Pro!

I do not yet know what the name is, but will try to find out and let you know. I have several large pictures of it, if you want to follow the links to see it better. I'm attaching a smaller image, but I think it's large enough for you to see it's the one you want. Feel free to email me if you want to inquire directly.
