Gladiolus ‘Prince of Orange’ [#2]
Camden Park hybrid. (Gladiolus cardinalis x G. tristis) x Gladiolus x gandavensis hybrid. One of these hybrids was also named ‘Prince of Orange. ‘No.9. Cardinali tristi Gandavensis (No.25). Tall robust scape large well shaped flowers, of fine orange and scarlet, with dark carmine feathered blotches on lower lobes. [word indistinct] good and like Prince of Orange.’ The name ‘Prince of Orange’ was also written in pencil in the margin. I am unsure of the relationship between this plant and the Gladiolus x ‘Prince of Orange’ of the catalogues.
