I have a difficult problem that up until now, no-one seems to know answer. My grandfather used to grow what looked like common/typical gladioli. They were in the typical colors of yellow, pink, red etc. I remember him telling me that they were NOT real gladioli but had a different name - although to the uninitiated they were typical gladioli. Any ideas of what they may have been? I haven't heard the name for 40 years so I hope you may be able to help to jog my memory? Thanks!
