10×14 watercolor. Available. Gladiolus (from Latin, the diminutive of gladius, a sword) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae). Sometimes called the sword lily, the most widely-used English common name for these plants is simply gladiolus (plural gladioli or gladioluses). / Description / The genus Gladiolus contains about 260 species, of which 250 are native to sub-Saharan Africa, mostly South Africa. About 10 species are native to Eurasia. There are 160 species of Gladiolus endemic in southern Africa and 76 in tropical Africa. The species vary from very small to the spectacular giant flower spikes in commerce. These attractive, perennial herbs are semihardy in temperate climates. They grow from rounded, symmetrical corms, that are enveloped in several layers of brownish, fibrous tunics. Their stems are generally unbranched, producing 1 to 9 narrow, sword-shaped, longitudinal grooved leaves, enclosed in a sheath. The lowest leaf is shortened to a cataphyll. The leaf blades can be plane or cruciform in cross section. The fragrant flower spikes are large and one-sided, with secund, bisexual flowers, each subtended by 2 leathery, green bracts. The sepals and the petals are almost identical in appearance, and are termed tepals. They are united at their base into a tube-shaped structure. The dorsal tepal is the largest, arching over the three stamens. The outer three tepals are narrower. The perianth is funnel-shaped, with the stamens attached to its base. The style has three filiform, spoon-shaped branches, each expanding towards the apex. (information from Wikipedia) Complete 2008
Ahh the intricacies of a Gladiola. I have spent days on this and am still not happy! I hope you like it. Please feel free to critique. Thankyou
Macro- Natural light. Pink Gladiola :))
My Gladiolas are finally blooming, but the rain made this one even more top-heavy than usual. Found it laying on the grass this morning. Brought it in and put it in some water. Still had raindrops on it from the nights’ sprinkles. LavenderMoon~
A touch of fractalius
My wife went to the store yesterday and this is what she brought home for me. A bunch of Gladiolas 10 stems all pretty and blooming. Sometimes I think she likes to see what background I’ll use. Or how I’ll setup my lighting, or even what lights I will use. Heck she can push me so hard, she makes me really think about what I’m shooting. That’s what I love about her, she has an eye and she knows just how to get me to see the shot also. Thank you for checking out my new work.
