rock oak deer I believe siam has done that to a lot of us lol

You are right about the foliage! Gorgeous. I hope Siam sees the Canna that I grew out from his seeds.

Hi rock oak deer, thats a great canna. i like it. it seems to be a hybrid from canna warzewiczii. but im not sure.
what i do know is that it isnt canna red king humbert. red kind humbert had large oragne red blooms and marroon green leaves.
This canna you are growing will attract hummmingbirds and the foliage is really nice :)
Lucy, you have more pics of the cannas you grew form my seeds?

Well Siam you FOUND it already. :-)

Lucy

Thanks, siam. Went by the tag that was on it, but I was surprised at how different the flower looked from what I expected.

I do hope the hummers show up, we have had only a few this summer. This canna is spreading like crazy, so should have plenty of flowers.

Is that the one that gets 7-8 feet high?

These are a about 4' high now and seem to be topped out for this year. The info I found on warsewiczii is that they shouldn't get as high as they are now. But as siam said it must be a hybrid, so maybe the best of both. That would be great if they were to get 7-8 high.

Naturally I forgot the name Siam gave me for the Canna I have growing and growing and growing. It is now taller then the eaves of the roof.

Also the one that you Siam wanted to have seeds from...which I have found THREE until now.

I will have plenty of this one to share. Tubers that is. Cause this one is totally taking over my flowerbed. HOW in the world do you Canna growers keep them under CONTROL?

Lucy,

I would love to have some of your beautiful canna when you are ready to trade. Like everything else in my garden, the canna pictured is only a few months old. Maybe next year it will be taller.
