Friday's Felixstowe Breakfast Briefing
By Derek Davis 10th Sep 2021
Friday's Fascinating Flower Fact
Gladioli "Glads", are the official 40th anniversary flower and are also called sword lilies because of their sharply pointed leaves and tall stalks of flowers with pointed tips. The Latin name for Gladiolus is gladius, a clear reference to the sword-swinging gladiators of ancient Rome. In China, it is believed the gladiolus can help people who have passed away find the heavens. Victorian romantics believed the gladiolus flowers were capable of piercing someone's heart with their beauty causing infatuation.Today's Peninsula sunrise: 06:22
