Thanks, Drew. I'll wait to divide these. You're so right about everything growing so fast once the weather heats up. It's like you plant something and then jump back. But I can't take any credit for that pot of Alo's. They've been quietly growing under the mango tree since last summer, and although the tree is getting lots of water right now because the fruit is sizing up, the alo very likely only got a few grains of fertilizer when I fertilized the tree in . . . let's see . . . March?

I've never grown these cannas with the dark red foliage before. Not quite sure where to put them to show them off to advantage. This pot was a 'rescue' from a clearance rack at Lowe's. As previously discussed, you just can't kill a canna. Lots of water and a little fert, and in 2 weeks we have flowers! Yay.
