Gladiolus are one of my favorite flowers to see in the summer time. I grew up seeing them every summer and the bright red blooms seem to always remind me of the 4th of July. They usually were in full bloom by then. Now we have added a few other colors of Gladiolus, white, yellow and purple. The leaves of the Gladiolus appear sword like and it's name came from Latin meaning sword. Gladiolus flower petals are edible but they say to remove the anthers and not to eat the middle of the flower. The pollen is said to be highly allergenic. As always be well informed and cautious before trying any new plant. Even if a plant is considered edible some individuals may be more sensitive than others to allergies.
Thank you Father for the Gladiolus their name meaning (sword) reminds me of your Word.
For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, Hebrews 4:12
