OK well I am extremely excited about this plant. I think many of you will really like this one. This maybe the key to a whole new color spectrum in cannas. I hope!


Strange turn in the growth of this odd Canna.

Well the flowers came out and looked like the photos above then as it aged the flowers turned a red to pink color very hard to describe. I was fairly upset with this but then then another flower came out and it was the odd purplish red color. Now the older pinkish red flowers have a purple tint on the edge of the peddles. This is more purple than then the flower first opened. Very interesting. I will soon have pics of both new mid and old flowers all on one plant.
