Tropical sunrise is a real beauty!

I figure since cannas are sold as summer bulbs, we can consider them as such here :)

I'm finding the tropcal rain forest meets eastern Kentucky woods a most contrived and amusing contrast, lol. At the time, free and functional were my only concerns when using the straw mulch, but the look has'nt bothered me at all- certainly much neater than the weedy mess I was looking at before.

The blooms that were open on 'Tangelo' have faded, but new ones are about to open, so I'll be sure to get a close up when they do. I don't know the name of this one, but the dark leaves are wonderful. I love it with the coleus below.
