Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Gladiolus alatus x roseus

Probably Gladiolus alatus x Gladiolus caryophyllaceus var. roseus hybrid.  A hybrid raised at Camden Park for which I have found no description.
