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? Thanks

These two are closest to your description that I have. No purple stamens though.

Getting old is the pits. But it sure beats the alternative. My Blog

The 2 peachy ones are close but not quite the same. I'll keep on file though because they are certainly beautiful.

I was just thinking the same thing. 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.

Have you thought to check with the florist who had the arrangement done?I have a friend in IN who works as a florist&He ID'd a flower for my mom that was in an arrangement,but he also was able to supply her with a supplier who sold the flower.(it was a lilly& escart? escart was the foliage plant)Your glad sounds pretty though.i like the multi-colored ones.Maybe do a google for bi-color glads web& images search.pinetreeseeds.com has some bi-color glads,but actually list more in their book than online.here is bloomingbulb.coms page...........

I think I have one of the peach, orange, & yellow gladiolus you want. 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.

They are all the same flower, but different angles.
