I've been searching the Web for identification of the cultivar of gladiolus in the photo but haven't been able to find it. A member of Next Door posted this photo on the Next Door Website, but didn't provide any identification.

There are so many gladiolus types- too many to keep track of, though all are beautiful.
We wonder if that photo has been enhanced- it seems unusually bright and crisp, and not like one we have seen.
We suggest you peruse some online bulb purveyors for the color combination. Or an 'images' search of the colors.
Ones like 'Dynamite' and 'Circus Color' have some similarities, but even then, you'll see those same-named varieties show up looking different in photographs and perhaps computer screens.

Thanks for the reply, Christine. The photo was taken with an Apple iPhone 15, so that might be the difference. I already looked at a number of bulb-purveyor sites before I wrote the Extension Service, but haven't seen one like this.
Cheers,
