Gladiolus is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family. Sometimes called the “sword lily,” the most widely used English common name for this plant is simply gladiolus. The genus gladiolus contains approximately 260 species, 250 are native to sub-Saharan Africa, primarily South Africa. Although glads, as they are commonly called, are used to a limited extent for landscape effect, their chief value is for cut flowers.
Gladioli produce tall spikes of large blossoms in a rainbow of colors. White, pink, red, purple, yellow, orange, salmon and even green gladioli are available, along with many bi-colors.
The flowers will be distributed to the public, free of charge, after the show ends Sunday at approximately 4:15 p.m. outside Wesley Lodge.
