genus:	Gladiolus
species:	antakiensis aff.
family:	Iridaceae
color:	white / soft pink
description:
This is an attractive and distinct, dwarf plant with 3-5 flowers, occasionally white but mainly soft-pink, darkening with age. Probably a new species but the gladioli from eastern Turkey are a taxonomic mess and it would be rash to publish it as such without a more complete review of the genus there.
