OK well the ones of you with a perverted sense of humor may have figured the name to this canna has its hidden message. This maybe the most exciting canna I have breed. This is a hybrid off of Intrgue it has only flowered once with small pinkish orange flowers. The leaves are what look amazing. From what I hear no one has come up with any new variegated cannas like tropicanna and bengal tiger for over 20 years or more? The sources of all these cannas seem to be from african and a bit hard to tack down exactly who did them.

This canna grows so far to about 5 ft tall thin narrow leaves looking more like a hawaiian Ti plant than a canna. The coloring is bright pink with purple and a few other colors. Extremely interesting looking here is a pic of a leaf of the plant.
