Thank you for the guess. The pictures I'm googling are all coming up from more mature plants so it's hard for me to tell.

Yeppers, a canna. You can just dig up the rhisomes, knock the dirt off and store it cool, but it will be OK in a pot too. I had a funny story about these tough plants. They can, of course, be grown from seed and one year I had started a run of them in the g'house. After they'd germinated and were potted, I pitched the soil into the compost and it found its way to my vegetable garden eventually. It must have been ten years later, I see this familiar foliage coming up in the rows of tomato plants, and it's a tropicana canna. It's now in a pot, much like your pot, inside a g'house overwintering. BTW canna seed, sometimes called Indian shot is viable for up to a century. We had a large water cistern built into a hill to store spring water overflow, and when the dozer moved the soil to install it, a year later canna were all over the place coming up wild. A couple down the road whose family owned this farm said their mother had cannas in that area in the 1930s. The dormant seeds must have been buried for fifty years before the disturbance of the soil allowed them to germinate.

Thank you! SO excited now that I know! I just walked around the Scirnce Museum's outdoor putt-putt course and gardens and saw what it will look like when fully grown! Beautiful!

oh wait...I get it...you're building this house and this is the model. duh...I thought you were considering buying it for some reason. that explains the weird wall colors. Model home decorators always do weird wall stuff. I do like the cherry floors and cherry cabs. keep in mind that cherry gets darker with age so they will be even darker in a few years. To offset that, I would choose a lighter color granite than that in the model home. Something with gold tones in it but not too light, not as creamy as something like new venetian gold. Something in between. But nothing as dark as what they opted to use. That would really lighten the kitchen up without changing the cabinets or the floors.
