Gladiola Identification

Question

Hello, I have an orange speckled gladiolus that has been surviving on this vacant lot in the Historic district( goes back to the 1600s ) where I live in Fernandina Beach Florida. I wonder if there would be someone there, or someone you could recommend, to help me ID this one? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You might find it by searching the internet for historic or heirloom gladiolus. Here is one source:

A trip to the library also may help. One search will probably lead to another.
