Gladiolus flowers: beautiful and tender

It's hard to believe, but around 300 BC.This luxurious flower was just a burden. They did not admire it, but pulled it out of the ground, ground the bulbs and, mixed with flour, baked flat cakes. The ancient Romans added romantics. They associated the appearance of the flower with a beautiful legend about two gladiator friends who did not want to fight each other. The heroes were executed, and from the handles of their swords, like from stems, flowers suddenly began to grow, which were named in honor of the brave young men who remained faithful to friendship. Since then, gladiolus has become a symbol of loyalty, honor, memory. Translated from Latin, gladus is a sword. Hence its Russian name, "sword lily". It is not surprising that historically gladiolus is considered a male flower, it is often given to business partners, winners of various competitions. The official flower for business bouquets.
