misty,

Great going on those canna seeds. There were cannas planted here when we bought this property. They are the ones with the red, tubular flowers. When I was deadheading them I just threw the seeds off to the side in the grass. I'm not into growing from seeds stuff that takes years to bloom or worse yet months for the seeds to sprout. I was sure canna was in that category. Then I read here on DG that they are easy to sprout and bloom the first year from seed. Ack! I went back out and picked up all the seeds! LOL.

Here's a pic of them. The flowers are not as showy as some others but the hummingbirds absolutely love them.
