Gladiolus is a genus of perennial cormous flowering plants in the iris family. It is sometimes called the 'sword lily', but is usually called by its generic name.
Ed, you are a master when it comes to flowers. I am awed by your ability to capture such beauty. Just proves once again that the eye and imagination behind the camera are the most important ingredients.

OH I normally am not fond of black backgrounds for flowers, as I probably feel they are a bit of a copout. But here I would be totoaly wrong. This is one that leaves me near wordless in it"s near agony of exquisite beauty. The arrangement of the flowers, the great sense of near far, and above all the sheer perfection of the lighting are all spot on. This black background flower image has made me change my thinking. Thank you RBorud
