A tropical African plant with fragrant tubular flowers, commonly grown as an ornamental plant in gardens.
From Latin 'acidus' (sour or acid) combined with Greek 'anthera' (anther, the pollen-producing part of a flower). Named for the plant's slightly acid or bitter taste or properties.
Also called Gladiolus murielae, this flower has an amazing sweet smell—especially at night—and despite its scientific name suggesting 'acid,' it's actually beloved for its elegant appearance and fragrance in cutting gardens.
