Default Gladioli in fflower

Someone asked a few weeks ago about gladioli not flowering. We
decided it was too soon.
My allotment neighbour has a bed of them all just coming into flower.

So mine in Lincoln should another two weeks or so. They don't look like it, though.

There are no signs yet of buds on the gladioli at the top end of
Wensleydale.

All of ours on the allotments (totally open unshaded position) are in flower
and some of our red ones there are at least half over, however, the ones in
the garden at home (competing with other flowers/shrubs) have only just
burst into bloom.

PS! Same chap with the gladioli on the allotment says that last year
they were orange and this year they are red and purple! He doesn't
listen to GQT where there have been several tales of them changing
colour. He left them in the ground from last year.
Any opinions? Anyone else experience this?
