The Greek word xiphos means sword and this is the reason why this flower is also known as Xiphium. Some people also call this flower a sword lily.
Gladiolus flowers are available in 260 different species but only 10 can be found in Asia and Europe. The rest of these flowers are native to South Africa.
These flowers can grow as tall as 4 feet which means that they are perfect for tall or large flower arrangements.
If you know somebody who is celebrating their birthday in this month, they will make the perfect gift! Gladiolus is also known as the official flower of 40-year anniversaries.
