Ident 2 plants pls PICS

21 years ago

Hi all, Here are 2 cannas that are my mysteries. One has bronze leaves and has not yet flowered. The second one has green leaves and flowered about 2 wks ago. The 2nd photo shows this one close up, because it has yellow stripes on the green leaves. I've never heard of this coloring before with plain green leaves and it sure was a surprise to me. Can anyone identify either of these for me? Thx.

hi Carol,

Hard to tell from the photos.

Cannas do mutate or "sport" very easily, meaning that they come up with new variagation or leaf coloring.

See if the variagated one holds it's own next summer, you may have a new canna- I don;t know of a varigated leaf canna with that color blooms.
