              It's looking good Spruce. :thumbsup:

              You forgot to mention it has a strong sweet perfume too that will stop you in your tracks when close to it. :)

                  No need to get down on your knees Spruce, pick a flower and pin it on your top, the perfume will follow you every where. :biggrin:

                                Hi @NigelJ - that pic from Mar 1st looks very like gladiolus cunonius to me - are they synonyms?
