Floral Friday #84

Floral Friday

Gladiolus ‘Green Star’ (Sword Lily) or Swaard lelie in Afrikaans is particularly attractive with its spikes of copiously ruffled, 3-4 in. (7-10 cm), lime-green blossoms. Each flower spike counts up to 12 blooms and rises among erect narrow, deep-green sword-shaped leaves. Spectacular on its own, in the summer garden or in a vase.
