In ancient times the gladiolus was called xiphium from the Greek word xiphos, both of which mean sword, so it’s no wonder the glad is sometimes called the “sword lily”. Gladiolus makes for a beautiful addition to your flower arrangement, with its delicate range of colors, unique shape, and subtle scent. This flower’s history and definition in the language of flowers is full of heroism, strength, victory, and pride.
