Florist Arranging Gladioli in a Shop

Inside a florist shop, a short-haired girl works alongside a wooden table organizing freshly harvested gladioli. The tall floral stems stand upright as she arranges the long blossoms for display.

Characteristics of the Gladiolus Flower

Gladiolus plants grow from underground corms and belong to the iris family, originating mainly from South Africa and the Mediterranean. The tall flowering spikes open their blossoms progressively from the bottom of the stem toward the tip. Florists handle these long stems carefully so the buds can open sequentially over several days.

Real Colors of Gladiolus Blossoms and Florist Shops

  • Gladiolus petals: Coral pink, deep red, purple, yellow, or bi-color combinations
  • Flower stem and sword-shaped leaves: Vibrant leaf green
  • Florist work table: Natural oak brown or stained timber
  • Fresh flower buds: Pale yellow green before opening into full color
