Part of one canna bed. All the cannas are blooming great now.
In my part of the world they bloom like crazy end July until a killing frost end September.
Always a glorious site to see ((o: Especially in mid September.
Cannas .just a few!
Wow! Those are beautiful! It is ashame you only have a few though. LOL
wow! they are so pretty. I wish I had just a few... I have a small clump of the tall orange. It has grown a lot since I got it last year. I have about 4 in the clump now :)would like to have as many colors as you someday. (working on it!)
Be still my heart!!! I'm working on the pinks now myself. I have almost all the verigated and bronze, but I sure do love the tall pinks.

Alice, they are just spectacular. What a sight to look at every day. I'd be in heaven. Am hoping to expand my little group of cannas this next year. Want to have the back of one bed totally filled in with them. Yours is a very pretty sight.
What a goregous rainbow of colorful cannas! Do you overwinter them in a greenhouse, root cellar, or basement? How many do you actually have?

Barb,
Do you have problems with the leaf rollers on your cannas in Hattiesburg.....here along the coast they really do a job on the leaves.
Glory, my friend Ruby did have problems till she started putting Sevin dust around the base of the plants.
Abutilon, those are beautyful.
So pretty,ya know,aside from a few variegated ones I have...mine are all red.I don't even have a pink.What is with me and all one color???
But I love yours ,they look great
Thanks everyone.
This is just a portion of one garden. Cannas literally do grow all around me (o:
Shirley, some go in the greenhouse and others into the basement. Really don't know how many I have.
Too busy growing to count. LOL But true.
I just love this time until frost.
Abutilion, those are simply stunning.
Alice...very nice collection...now start breeding a few...real fun to see what grows from seeds.You can have some fun just growing some of the naturally pollinated seeds too! Never know what you will get!
:-)
Thanks, Kyle. Last couple years I sowed some of my open seeds.
This year I am thinking what could be 'exciting'.
On my way to 'serious', I think (o:
Abutilon,
Wow! those are stunning especially the pink with the very dark leaves.
Kyle,
I looked inside but I can't distinguish what is what inside the flower.

Looks great and as eclipse said breeding plants is an adventure in itself.
