Blooming canna

18 years ago

Here is my first effort at growing cannas from seed. I planted 7 seeds of various seeds. All are up and two are blooming.. This one was in a pack marked constego although I think it looks like cleopatra. I'm sooo proud of it. I have another blooming apricot frost which I am so proud of also grown from seed both this season.

It is wonderous strange where the Canna form their seed pods, below where the flower was on the stem ... The Canna Flacida bloom shown above dropped off and the pod formed below it. It also looks kind of like it will bloom again with what look like new flower buds above the pods.

Hi Storey, Would love to get your P. coccinea and thunbergia clock vine but don't have any of your wants. I do have some white fragrant crinums, yellow flag iris, blue/purple with yellow beardless iris, red pine cone ginger, EE "Chicago Harlequin" and amaryllis, not Red Lion, but they are dark red. If you want more cannas, I have tall yellow with orangy splashes around throat, perhaps "Richard Wallace". Thanks, Betsy

WOW, I hope I have that luck also. Where did you get your seed? Do you have the Apricot Frost picture yet?
