Actually, the word "gladiolus" means "little sword". An ancient Roman legend claims that if you hang gladiolus bulbs on your chest as an amulet, they will not only help you win a fight, but also protect you from death.
My painting symbolizes purity, innocence, chastity and brings joy. The delicate lilac background with yellow gladioli in the center leaves a pleasant impression. This is an ideal gift for a friend.
