A clump of Black Prince (iirc) which has survived several winters in

Has anyone propagated cultivated, large-flowered glads from their own
garden seed? Any guesses how long from seed to flowering size corms?

I was interested enough in your Gladiolus to google for an image of it.
There's a list of Glads 'Black ...'something, but no 'Black Prince'.
If you have a moment to google it yourself, you may be reminded of the
true name. If you do, would you post it here so I (and others) can look
it up? Pretty please.
