Judy---Thanks for clarifying this....it sure looks like an Agerarum!

I only have one new bloom to show you. My Dark-Leafed Canna is blooming...
In a couple days--I will blow you away with a full flush of my Dr. Seuss.
It is already looking presentable. It will be a "WOWSA!!!"...

1--Wind/s red Canna was first to bloom
2--My Dark-leafed Canna grew well and healthy--but just now (In almost September)
It is putting out it's first bloom. I expect it is lack of sun--as it is at the back of
my raised bed shaded by the 6' back partition.
3--These are the three pink Cannas I bought on clearance @ the HD. $2.67.
It was too late to plant them--so I will just over-winter them in the pots--
or take them out and put them in larger pots for the winter.
They HAVE TO BE really root-bound!

My neighbor, Olga's orange Canna has not even grown full size yet.
Wat's up with it this year? Same issue??? Not enough sun????
But--Olga planted hers in full sun--next to Wind's red ones.
They are still only 2' tall--same as mine...Bad corms??? perhaps...
