Yeah, I'm a risk-taker myself, and it's always kinda fun.

You're so right about the rooting thing, it's always worked best for me if I put it in the medium, then set it aside and don't look at it for a week or two. Kind of surprising, your cannas rotting - I've always found you literally can't overwater cannas! They even will grow in standing water here. Maybe it's because you're cooler there, on the coast? On the other hand, I've had some live over winter in a bucket of water!

Did your Stuttgarts have the pretty variegated leaves? I've tried them twice - from two different suppliers - and just got nice, small orange flowers and plain blue-green leaves. They persist in popping up all over the garden, but never have any variegation.
