FloralUK that one sure looks like the same plant. Leaves look right. Flowers look right now I just need to find a pic of the seed pods. I too thought it was a verbascum based on the seed pods but the leaves dont look right. Thank you all for continuing to try to id this plant. I appreciate all your efforts Signet

I've always called it an Angel Wing begonia but I don't know the "real" name.

Well it certainly seems that the world plant specimens are being subjected to an ever increasing number of ailments at an ever increasing rate. Much of this is a direct response to the speed that both people and goods traverse the world and the regulatory authorities are simply overwhelmed trying to screen for problems. Viruses in cannas are rather widespread and often the grower or supplier is totally ignorant of the problem or simply refuses to acknowledge it. Purchase cannas directly from a reputable grower that is aware of the issue and checks their crop for virus issues. Better yet would be to purchase cannas that have been virus indexed. This is often done in tissue cultured plants and if the test results are negative the plants would be clean at the time of testing. That is about as good as it can get but few plants are sold this way at this time. Some cannas being offered in a few of the box stores are grown from seed strain cultivars (grown from seed) and typically would be virus free to start their growing cycle. Recently we have begun to see some of our beautiful old hybrids being cleaned and offered for sale at select nurseries. Checking for virus in purchased cannas can be somewhat inexact because the symptoms are sometimes difficult to casually observe. There will be times in the season when the symptoms are quite obvious. Doing a quick search for canna virus will produce a number of leaf symptoms that range from mild to terrible. Keep in mind that each canna virus produces somewhat different symptoms and plants can be infected by more than one virus at the same time. It is always a good idea to grow any new canna segregated from any existing plants to check for disease issues. The above is not meant to scare one from purchasing new cannas but to rationally deal with the problem and enjoy the results. Kent

Alisande, lucy is correct.....it's a wooly aphid, an adult. The nymphal stage of any insect, by the way, will never have wings. Those don't appear until after the very last molt.....when the sexually mature adult appears. Great picture, as usual!
