Paula yes, the Durban canna has big leaves, they're about 18in. long on that big one in the picture. It grows pretty big, although I must admit mine didn't exactly 'reach' its potential this year. My daughter grows them in Utah, and hers get 5ft. tall and her leaves have much more color - pink and gold stripes as well as dark green and dark red. I had them in the urn in the pool cage, so not enough sun to make them color up, I'm thinking.

You really did strike gold with the spider lilies, but the white flower, if it is Autumn crocus, those bulbs are really expensive, too. Especially the white ones! You really need to rescue some of them, too.
