Chuck, it sounds like you have everything that butterflies and hummingbirds could desire. Shirley found the link for you for cannas. They can be found at any Home Depot or Target. They say hummingbirds are drawn to the color red, but my hummingbirds loved the yellow and the peach canna flowers.

Butterfly weed, Asclepias tuberosa, is another winner with butterflies. Here's a link: http://davesgarden.com/pdb/go/73/index.html Also, heliotrope attracts butterflies: http://davesgarden.com/pdb/go/31648/index.html and lantana too.

Have fun and Happy Gardening!

Here are my cannas last summer. I had to dig them out of this particular spot in the garden because they were just too big for that particular place. They get to be five to six feet tall.
