I love this variety...not sure exactly who hbridized it..but they did a great job!!
Canna Princess Di
Love that one, it's a beauty. You have hybridized some real pretty ones too Kyle, should do something to make some money on them. I'd buy.
That's a beauty for sure.
That's my baby!! Just wonder how long it is going to take for her to grow up and bloom. What month did you start these in the greenhouse? I didn't get the rhizomes until late, around the first week in May, so I direct planted mine. She is so pretty Kyle.
Does anyoe know average heigth of PD? Just got one planted and can't wait until it blooms.
'Princess Di' topped at 32" for me 2001.
It is one from Kent Kelly.
I'm still waiting for mine to bloom....
Yours Kyle, looks very nice....
SOOO pretty!
Oh my goodness! I'm shocked and learning so much here about cannas. I had no idea there were so many different varieites. Gosh all I've ever seen up here are about a half dozen common ones, nothing so beautiful as this!! Kyle add a couple of seeds from this one to my "goodie seed bag"...lol
Joydie..if I can find any seeds..so far hasn't had any..it may be like tropicann or Bangkok..both are sterile..no seeds.
Kyle,
Any seed pods yet...not that I want to bug ya, juss checkin
status of my goodie seed bag...lol.
Joydie...you betcha! it has several pods..not sure what they will be though..colorwise.. :-)
Kyle,is it the plants them selves that are sterile,or is their pollen sterile too?
Oh Kyle I'm so excited. I don't care what color they are but I know there will be some beauties in them there pods. I'm detailing my tropical garden beds for next year as I type...1. Place Kyle's Dianna hybrid in front of bed near sidewalk as a show stopper. 2. Place Kyle's Orange canna at the front of second tropical bed, near the sidewalk as another show stopper. 3. Underplant with various colors of coleus to create a patchwork quilt effect. 4. Move crowded peonies from back garden to front garden. 5. Don't forget to put BIG brugs in pots back in their summer homes again.
Now where should I put the new croton that I picked up for a buck on the clearance table from the market...hmmmm. LOL.
CC the pollen is sterile as is the plants.I tried crossing both ways and never any seeds....if any formed they aborted later on.
:-)
So they are all sports from some other plant,huh?
is cleopatra sterile?
Cleopatra is fertile.Mostly the striped leaved ones are the only sterile ones.
Ok...I see what you mean by sterile...you can't hybridize them but they will form seeds...is that it? I'm not blonde really just gray headed...lol.
no ,they won't form viable seeds....
Gotcha!!
