My brother helped me brought back some gladiolus bulbs and other flower bulbs for our mother from his last visit here in our place. I have seen gladiolus flower growing very well in Malaysia gardening blogs so I really wanted my mother to try grow this flower in her garden. Those gladiolus flower bulbs grow easily in my mother's garden. In fact, her gladiolus bloom earlier and did much better than the ones I grow here in Adelaide about the same time. She was very excited that she post a few pictures of the first gladiolus bloom in her garden to me through her phone (a reason why pictures quality not good).
Many identified gladiolus species originate from Africa which include the tropical Africa (Source from Wikipedia). Probably the reason why gladiolus easily adapted to the tropical climate of Malaysia.
Asiatic Lily bulb also grow without worries in my mother's garden.
I am planning to purchase some gladiolus bulbs again for my mother maybe for Mother's day gift. Not many supplier have gladiolus bulbs in stock at the moment because it is more common at the end of winter on the nursery shelf. But I did managed to find a supplier that have very limited stock. Trying to decide which variety to buy at the moment. Which one you like from these selection?
