      Looks like Gladiolus murielae.

      https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gladiolus murielae&client=firefox-a&hs=qGG&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=np&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=JVaOUs_uOYi3hQe1iYGIBg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1536&bih=735

      Blinking thing keeps changing its name!
      Others may know it as Acidanthera bicolor Murielae.

        Beautiful flower and I love them and their delicate scent.

        Where are you that it is in bloom at the moment Nigel? ... mine certainly isn't, and we are pretty cool at the moment (highs of 17-18c, lows of 8-9c) ...         :scratch:

        We are in Somerset. Photo was taken today and its was only about 10c this afternoon. Has been in flower for a week or so now, which is surprising as we have had frost a couple of times.

            They're flowering like crazy here at the moment. They do seem to be hardier than expected.
