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 (blandus x cuspidatus) x ‘Aurora’

Three or four way hybrid, (Gladiolus carneus x Gladiolus cuspidatus) x Gladiolus ‘Aurora’.  ‘Aurora’ is presumably a named hybrid not elsewhere described.  No description is extant.

History at Camden Park

Not listed in any catalogues. The seeds of many hybrids, including this plant, were sent to Herbert at the same time as the bulbs in 1844.  These plants are not detailed in Macarthur’s notebooks or elsewhere.  See the individual entries for species gladioli and early hybrids for details of parent plants.  [MP A2948-3].
