Gladiolus tristis

Though Gladiolus tristis remains open in the daylight, its true allure awakens with the night. As darkness falls, a sweet almond fragrance unfurls, weaving through the air like a whispered invitation. Moths and other nocturnal wanderers follow the scent, drawn into the flower’s quiet embrace, where the beauty of the night blooms in silence.
