A late summer flowering bulb is what I still call Acidanthera but
which is now known as gladiolus calianthus. It is just finishing now
but the flowers have a lovely scent.


Isn't it a bit tender, though? Will it survive winter in south Yorkshire?


I should have said that I grow Acidanthera in pots and protect them
overwinter.
