Tiger Lily, Acidanthera has been renamed Gladiolus callianthus, which is one of the few changes that I agree with. Its corm and growth habit are exactly like some of the specie glads that I have grown in the past. In San Francisco they grow winter glads, mostly carneus and its hybrids. They make big clumps over time and when they go dormant in summer their corms are small (and hard to find). The foilage is different than the cut flower types, more 'grassy'.

Gina, have you ever been to a Fairchild plant sale? It is worth the trip and most of the people selling there know what they have and how to grow it.
