Glad All Over
I know this is a Gladioli, but as soon as Jane confirmed it this came into my head. Must be showing my age.
I have tried, and I think pretty much succeeded, to have just the tip of the flower in focus and the rest of the flower and plant gradually becoming blurred.
Gladiolus is from Latin the diminutive of gladius, a sword. It is part of the iris family. We have one stem in full flower and this one just about to bloom.
More useless information: the flower spikes are large and one-sided, bisexual flowers each subtended by 2 leathery, green bracts. The sepals and the petals are almost identical in appearance, and are termed tepals.
