THE GLADIOLI IS FULL OF HEROISM. THE NAME COMES FROM THE LATIN WORD "GLADIUS" WHICH MEANS SWORD AND SYMBOLISES STRENGTH, VICTORY AND PRIDE. THAT MEANING DATES ALL THE WAY BACK TO ROMAN TIMES WHEN GLADIATORS FOUGHT TO DEATH IN THE COLOSSEUM. THE VICTOR WOULD BE SHOWERED IN GLADIOLI BUY ADORNING MEMBERS OF THE CROWD. EVEN TODAY, THE DUTCH VERSION OF THE PHRASE "DEATH OR GLORY" IS "DEATH OR GLADIOLI" AND VICTORS IN CYCLING RACES AND WALKING EVENTS ARE GIVEN A BUNCH OF FLOWERS AT THE FINISH LINE.
GLADIOLI FLOWERS ARE USED BY FLORISTS TO CREATE DRAMATIC FLORAL DISPLAYS FOR WEDDING AND CORPORATE EVENTS. THE FLOWER REPRESENTS STRENGTH OF CHARACTER ,REMEMBRANCE, FAITHFULNESS AND MORAL INTEGRITY.
