Hello, I did a little research as I used to work in a nursery & this question rang a bell. Unfortunately at the moment I can't think what the name of the flower is that we sold which looked like a small gladioli. I've found a small article which I've taken a part of & attached below. Good luck remembering, cheers, Shiree. Most of these hybrids are long gone, however more recent hybrids have been produced including the so-called Homoglads; a cross between Homoglossum watsonius (recently reclassified as Gladiolus watsonius) and Gladiolus tristis. Based on descriptions of some of these older hybrids, there is great potential for producing useful garden plants from these species.
