Gladiolus ‘Mary’
Raised in England by John Bidwill before coming to Australia and only listed in the catalogues in 1843. No description is extant but it was certainly a gandavensis hybrid. It was probably lost quite early and does not appear to have been used for hybridising in Australia.

No additional data.
History at Camden Park
Only listed in the 1843 catalogue although Bidwill makes a number of references to ‘my Mary’ in subsequent letters.
