It does sound like a good idea. The problem is time and effort usually. I have so much to do specially during the spring I never get what needs to be done with completed. I have yet to destroy any plants LOL. I am a sucker for keeping everything alive but a lot of them have to fend for themselves out in the field. I will keep a ear out for any schools or places that might be interested in the cannas. My main concern is they dont reach the market or get passed around like crazy due to them being less off what I really want to offer as my hybrids. Just lower ends of the gene pool.

As for me being up at 3 AM. I have to put wood on a out door furnace every night at 3 AM. This is one of the furnaces that heats water up to 180f and pumps it into our greenhouse heating systems. We use to use gas which was around 3,000 dollars a month now with wood its completely free besides the splitting it and me getting up at 3 AM to put more on. Here is a pic of my heated floor system in one of the greenhouses the floor is heated up to 70f and keeps the greenhouse nice and warm every night. This is a pic were me and my workers were installing the system.
