Acidanthera/Gladiolus callianthus - second generation

My  Acidanthera/Gladiolus callianthus is blooming.....though not as proliferous ....not as prolific as those in the pics advertising or featuring it....i m very thankful!! I thought i had lost it....when i saw its leaves coming up and growing rather vigorously...i was attacked by doubts....was not very sure it was my Acidanthera making a come back after all the time that has lapsed.....since the laeves are vey similar to glad leaves....however i suspected it was it because though similar...the leaves are not exactly the same...glad leaves are thicker while Acidanthera's are thinner....only when it produces flower buds was i sure-for-sure...!!

Yes i m very thankful although today only 1 flower has bloomed...well a few more buds are waiting their turn....errmm the fragrance..? Not as strong as claimed ....again i suppose it may be due to soil and geographical conditions...
