Re: Gladiolus dalenii

Clones are a set of plants derived from a single seed, either through 
natural division or artificial cloning. Artificial cloning is usually 
done using ancient methods of taking cuttings, but for some kinds of 
pants cloning may be done using undifferentiated cells removed from 
growing tips and grown on special media under sterile conditions. 
Sometimes the cells are taken from the embryo of a seed before it 
sprouts, and used to grow many plants immediately from one seed. This is 
useful if you are not trying to reproduce a particular existing variety 
but have difficulty getting enough seeds to meet demand; I believe this 
is done with Venus fly traps.
