What kind of flower is this

Question:

Is any of you have a few minutes, would you take a look at the photo of this flower and tell me what it is. Last year, I planted a bunch of identified bulbs given to me by a friend and now they’re coming up and I can’t identify this one. http://www.inficad.com/~bbigham/home.htm Barbara B. Mesa, AZ, zone9

It’s a peacock gladiolus (Acidentera? Acadantera? not sure of that spelling), native to Africa.  I believe they are tender perennials, but you’ll have to check me on that. Sure are pretty! — Jessie New York City j e s 2 2 at columbia dot edu note the spam Trap

It’s beautiful.  Not shabby photography either.  I haven’t the foggiest what it is, but when you find out would you post it.  I want some.

It looks like Acidanthera bicolor (possibly the variant Murieliae). Very fragrant. Is yours really that pink? I didn’t know they came in that color – I’m familiar with them being more white with a reddish-brown (sorta purple) blotch. Also called Peacock orchid, they are native to Ethiopa. Should be hardy in your zone. Is any of you have a few minutes, would you take a look at the photo of this flower and tell me what it is.

Looks a bit like Acidanthera – check out that name in on of your references and see if it’s a match. Later, Mike USDA Zone 7, Sunset Zone 32 (Villa Rica, GA)

Acidanthera bicolor, also called ‘peacock orchids’ (even though they are not orchids, nor are they colored anything like peacocks). They are related to Gladiolus and Crocosimia. — Pat in Plymouth MI NOTICE!! To hit my personal mailbox, please put the letter ‘p’ in front of the ‘kiewicz’ when replying by e-mail.

It appears to me that it may be what we call around here a Peacock Orchid.   It has a smallish bulb; real long, narrow leaves and the flower is on a long stalk…..however I could be wrong!
