Description
Captured back on 6/19/09, somewhere around the neighborhood, and intensely postworked to the full extent of the law.
Gladiolus (from Latin, the diminutive of gladius, a sword) is a genus of perennial cormous flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae). It is sometimes called the 'Sword lily', but usually by its generic name (plural gladioli). The genus occurs in Asia, Mediterranean Europe, South Africa, and tropical Africa.

like this flower
Beautiful, and lovely against other interesting items in the background.. Well taken mate Rob
yep, flowers bring out numbers: You can always count on getting a higher comment count with a flower shot! (A shame, because your car shots, for instance, are like flowers in their own right.) But flowers are one of your specialties, so 9 comments are never enough. This one is so fascinating, because the flowers almost blend into one continual object: They're like layers of silk overlapping each other. And your pov is really abstract---the flowers cut the composition into two separate planes; where one half has that low fern-like leaf, acting like a "fundament" to the gladiolus'; and the right half brings light, geometry, verticals, etc. A wonderful piece, compositionally; and a capture of gladiolus' that looks like a corsage, or a single mass of silk scarves that just happen to look like flowers. Fine piece, Harry. And great info on the etymology of the term.
