Gladiolus callianthus/Acidanthera

i am sooo happy to see my Acidanthera/Gladiolus callianthus    has returned....when i first got them...there were only three bulbs...they grew well and bloomed....but i did not snap any pics...cos they were not as beautiful as advertised by the garden nurseries that are selling them!! Then they died out... i was'nt worried coz i know that is the nature of bulbs...after flowering the leaves will die off but the bulbs below live on....but next they came up....though more plants grew...they did not flower...until these all died out....that was some time ago...only now i see new growth....well.. i pray they'll grow well  and reward me with some blooms....yep..yep...i know...they may not b happy in our hot n humid climate and may not flower at all...but as i mentioned earlier ...i m one stubborn gardener....!!!


...of course the ordinary gladiolus or sword lily has no problem blooming here...n these are come backs which i hope will bloom in
the-not-too-far-future.....
