everytime I've participated in co- ops the host always labeled the plants, I missed the canna co - op

I've participated and sponsored several co-ops. The plants should each be labeled. You might say something to the host. He or she may not be aware that it's a problem. Maybe they're new to co-ops.

thx for your answers. I thought it was probably a bad co-op experience, not the norm. But it certainly makes me gun shy to ever try again. I am staring at the canna bulbs now with disgust... wondering which are my high priced ones. I guess I will give them all to the other person who ordered with me, and write it off as a small disaster! lol

I'd plant them and when they bloom you can tell them apart. If you need to give them to your partner then do it with the stipulation that she divides them with you when they bloom. It's really easy to divide cannas and then you'll both have some. I know it's disheartening to get them this way but all is not lost, just delayed.
