Hi, Margaret, I looked at the pictures, and have some thoughts for your plant. It appears to be way too dry. When wick watered plants go dry, just refilling the reservoir usually won't re-hydrate the potting soil. The wick itself needs to be 'primed'. You can do this by taking the pot off the reservoir and setting it in a bowl. Then, pour nice warm water into the bowl, and let the pot soak until the soil is wet all the way through. This may take up to an hour. Then dump out the excess water and put the pot back in the bowl. Remove those dead leaves on the outside, they are not going to magically spring back to health. After a couple of days, you should re-pot this plant. It is way too small for the size of the pot, and I can see a lot of fertilizer buildup on the sides of the pot above the soil. To determine the correct size of pot to use, measure the diameter of the plant (after you remove the dead leaves), divide by 3, and that is the number of inches in diameter for the correct pot. When wicking, watch for limp plants, and check the soil. If it is dry, and there is water in the reservoir, you know the wick has stopped working, and you will need to 'prime' it or repot if that fails to get it to work again. That is the most obvious thing I see. I don't think it has root rot or critters. Barbara

Hi Hollyhocks, hope you can follow these links of the two cannas; they are very similar: http://www.karcheskycanna.com/tropicalsunrise.htm http://www.bloomingbulb.com/cartProductDetail.asp?ProductKey=558&bulbs=Canna&flower=Stadt%20Feltbach&parent=2601 Eloise

Here's a few pics of my garden which seems to be forever changing. You have to go around corners to see all of my garden so no overall pictures, sorry. It's a good mix of flowers weeds LOL. Annette Here is a link that might be useful: My garden

I use alot of others ideas and make my own. I was hooked when I started. DH have a way of doing things like that. I had a leaf that mine hit. Thought it was way off the side but I thought wrong. Of course it was one of the nicest. I started using one of those plastic masks from the craft store. But I have since made some molds from those masks you hang on the wall. I call them Mardi Grais masks. Email me if you want more information. But be sure make it clear in the subject. My email seems to be messed up and I either don't get alot or they get deleted. Thanks Kathy
