That's a great picture, Lucy!

Does anybody know what that flower is?

I have no idea what flower it is BUT
Lucy, that canna you have in the pic. where did you get it? I believe it has canna virus. the leaves seem to show signs of virus. You should get rid of it, or it can infect your other cannas with virus also :(

Good Morning to you all.

Lucy beautiful flower. Have no idea what it is.
Wow Siam ,you have an expert eye.

pat

Good morning, that is a pretty lily. Don't know which one, though.

Siam, do you recognize the viris by the rounded brown spots on the edge of the leaves? Is there any way to treat it without starting over.

I have no idea what it is, but I once had something like that growing in my garden (way back when I had a garden) and it was called a Fire Lilly. Could be?????

Ingrid

Siam thanks. I did keep and eye on this one during the summer. They had some stress and all plants in that area were really light light green. Gave them some ironite and the canna also has normal leaves by now. Could that be? I sure hope that I do not have the canna virus. I do know about it. Thanks again for pointing it out.

Ingrid I guess it is some sort of a lily. After I am sure there are no fireant hills around that area...I go look and see if there is a tag.

Lucy

rock oak deer, its not the rounded brown spots.
the yellowe streaking on the leaves which will eventually turn brown are symptoms of canna virus!

Some time over fertilization can cause similar effects, but from that pics i tihnk it is canna virus.
Siam.

Siam I just went outside and double checked...the leaves look all normal. Unfortunately my battery needs to be charged but I need to charge myself first. lol

Does it happen that the virus goes away with new growth? Or once there...the plant will never have normal leaves?

thanks Siam

Lucy

Lucy, usually the virus can be seen on new leaves. on the new leaves it starts out at yellow streaking which eventually turns brown as the leaves get older. Virus symptoms usually show more when the plant is stressed.
If the leaves are completely normal now without any streaking, then it might not be canna virus. You should post a pic so i can tell you.
Siam.

Almost missed today's POTD! Lucy, your orange lily-like flower looks like either a crocosmia or a Watsonia. I go with the crocosmia.

Eloise thank you. It sure looks like the crocosmia from the quick googling.

Still looking for the camera charger. grrrr I need it. I have a brug about to bloom. Not flush..just bloom lol

Lucy

Its very pretty Lucy. Save seeds if it makes some please. We have a very harsh summer climate here and lots of plants get yellow streaks and turn brown from sunscald.
