Thanks Clare. This is not mine. A nice lady who lives on my way to work has 2 big ones in her front yard. She had the entire tops of them with moss and silver foil. She is not getting any of them to take. I told her I would try on here for advice. I had stopped by her yard to take pics of her cannas. Too die for. Every year I drive by every chance I get to enjoy them. Anyway, we got to talking.

I wonder if they need more humidity like Carol has in Hawaii to root. Here we have little.

She gave me a few unopened flowers, the smell is delightful. I had emptied my pockets by the computer and could smell them for a few days. Just great. She loves fragrant plants so I told her I would give her an Arborea. She will go nuts over that scent.

Anyone out there in Daveland have both this tree and a true Arborea? I told her the frangrance of a True Arborea won hands down. I am wondering if anyone else agrees.

These are her cannas.
