Canna ID?

Westbrook, ME(Zone 5a)

Here's another canna that came in the mixed dwarf bag. It's pale yellow with just a touch of pink stippling down the center of the petal. Any ideas on what it might be?

When asking identification, try to show a really good photo This one is hard to see accurate.
This canna starts out yellow ..then pales? Stippling is on lower petal?
Possible it is 'Harvest Yellow', but can't say positive.

wow, poppysue, i don't know what it is, but can i have some of her seeds???? i have some peachy-colored canna seeds i'll trade with you!!!!

Sure meiyu. That is if I get seeds from this one. It's getting kinda late here.

Alice I don't think this is Harvest Yellow. That one looks darker. It was hard to get a good picture cuz this is in my pond. I was stretching out over the rocks ... trying not to fall in. This came in a pack of mixed dwarf cannas from Wally World. I wonder if it might be seedling cannas that go into those mixes.

poppysue, did i understand correctly, that she's growing in your pond?

Poppysue ..
I just ventured that becaust of the stippling.
It is hard to see and seems sunbleached, too. LOL

Meiyu ..
You can grow most cannas in water once established.
One of my fav things to do with cannas (o:

Here's another picture of this one. The flower starts out bright and ages to a pale yellow. The stippling is more visible on the pale flowers.

Compare yours to 'Primrose Yellow'.

hey, abutilon, do you have that one on the available inventory list in your website? i love it!! i think when i get time, i'll have to go through the list...i was mostly looking at those zodiacs earlier, because i didn't think regular cannas could be that pretty!!

Abutilon do I owe you a SASE, if so I don't have your address...

Is Primrose Yellow a dwarf? It looks close but I still don't think that's it. The stippling just doesn't look the same. Mine could very well be a no-name. I guess I'll just call it pale-yellow with red stippling -lol. Thanks for your help Abutilon.

Meiyu,
Yes that one, Primrose Yellow, is at the site.
Same photo, even. LOL
It is one of my first cannas ..and one of my favs.
Virgo will be dug this week. I will let you know.

Poppysue,
There are lots of 'no names' out there. LOL
Possible yours is one of those.

Joydie,
I will be sending yours early this week.
I already sent the US ones. But foreign for me have to go in for the declarations.
I have several foreign to go out .. and will do all at once.
Thanks for patience. I have been really busy lately.

yippie!!! not rushing you, abutilon, just really excited! i'm sick of my no-name, peachy, orangy-pink and yellow cannas, and can't wait for more to grow!! i put the ones you sent me in the beds today...i love the ma vie 'hydrogen peroxide and water' system of nicking them, boy!! and so do my fingers and my blood pressure. the neighbor's red cannas are about 2 inches tall now!!!

Abutilon I'm not rushing you I just couldn't remember if I had to send you a SASE or not. Take your time...oh my I'm so happy...I can just picture my front garden next year...can you say BEAUTIFUL!!!!
