This new canna is one of my 2 year seedlings. I thought to call it 'Beloved'.
I asked my partner's opinion. He thinks another word should go with 'Beloved'..but what?
My daughter thinks 'Beloved' is not memorable enough ...)o;
So I am asking for opinions, other name suggestions, etc ..to help make up my mind to decide a name. lol
It's a really good canna. I want a fitting name for it (o:
My Beloved, Beloved Angel, Beloved showers, Reminds lme of the dove with the red chest. Bleeding heart of Christ.

My Beloved
Beloved Memory or memories
Beloved One
Purely Loved
Perfect Love or Memory
Have to think about this some more. It certainly is a pretty one and should have the perfect name.
Whatever you decide to call it,it's beautiful.
Blushing Beloved
How about Beloved Heart.
Much beloved...... :-)
Beloved Heart sure seems to fit this gorgeous brug. The background in your picture sure is pretty also, Abutilon!
Beloved White Angel
Oh this is gorgeous no matter what you call it. I like Beloved by itself.. boy I'd remember this one no matter what it's name is!
'Dearly Beloved'...what a GORGEOUS white canna, with that rosy color making it even more special. Where does the line form? Congratulations, John
Beloved Rhapsody
Beloved Tears
Beloved mystery
Or if you wanted to get away from Beloved, you could go with something like
Enchanting love.
That is what first came to mind when I saw this beautiful flower. and you could dedicate it to your partner. :-)
Please put me on your list when you are ready to release some! I would LOVE to have such a beautiful flower.

Abutilon,I agree with you and gnomey."Beloved",by itself,is
perfect.
I have alot going on since this post. Finally a chance to stop by to read all these suggestions, comments, etc.
Just sent this off to my partner to look then over. He will be surprised! LOL
Thanks, everyone (o:
My heart stopped when this canna opened. My daughter tells me the 'pink' is a flower chimera.
We will probably grow it one more year to finish evaluation. But looks a good one (o:
I could not go out to the cannas and not be drawn to this one. As I am to my beloved.
Set apart from all the others. A bit romantic ..but where my name choice came ;-)
My Beloved :)
Beloved.......awesome!
I just had to come back and look at it again. It's an amazing flower!
Alice, have you named her yet? She sure is a beauty and should have a beautiful name. Hope you post it here when you both decide.
"Kate's Beloved"
"eyes"
Hi Brugie,
It will be 'Beloved' or 'My Beloved'.
Dave likes the 'My Beloved' name suggestion from you.
Maybe I should ask opinions re these two choices. LOL
This is the hardest we have been at naming anything )o:
Thanks to everyone for suggestions. All good ones.
I will be considering as we have other good cannas come up.
I think any of the names suggested would be good, but My Beloved was the first that came to my mind. I think whatever you two decide will be perfect.
Beloved Innocent
What a beautiful plant, such delicacy! The pink in the centre is certainly representative of a pure heart. But there is an innocence and freshness within.
This one is a WINNER!!
That sure is a pretty one. I didn't know they came in white I am alway looking in yards down here were there are a lot of tropicals and never seen a white one
What a gorgeous canna! The pink in the middle of the blooms is spectacular. This is not my mother's run-of-the-mill-red canna! I think I like My Beloved better for the variety name than just Beloved, though they're both good.
Beloved Blush
Very nice, desert_rose!
P-Not bad for my first try.
After over all these wonderful names again and again .. we went back to where we started
and concluded tonight this canna's name will remain 'Beloved'.
It should be available next year.
Thanks everyone (o:
Alice
Excellent choice Abutilon.Please put me on the list for when it becomes available.I will trade,purchase or come steal it.
Well, if we are starting a list, I'll be number 2 please! Thanks, John
number 3 here!
Number 4 here! Looks like you will have them all sold before you even have a stock built up, hehe.
I'm new to DG ,seeing this canna ,was one of the reasons I joined ,just couldnt believe how beautiful it is and had to see what it was going to be named.....please put me on your list to purchase this canna. I would love love love to have one.
Hi Abutilon,
Will Beloved be exclusively vegetatively reproduced or will it produce true seed? Perhaps it is not possible to know yet.
Can you tell us or show us anything about its foliage? Any other details, such as height, length of bloomstem above foliage, bloom habit (including whether past blooms drop or cling to the stem), bloom period, likes, dislikes, favorite color, opinion about the situation in the Middle East ,what it thinks about The Bachelorette and Joe Millionaire?
Beloved (Insert your daughter's name here).
Absolutely gorgeous.
Adam.
Alice--when will you be selling this lovely "Beloved"?
Beloved Peace
Alice,
I keep coming back every now and again to look at this gem. Its a beauty.
Looks I missed some things here. My apologies.
PlanterRik ..
Since this canna is a hybrid, it can only be produced by clones to be same as the parent.
Foliage is blue green. Height is under 3 ft. Flowers sit nicely above the foliage crown for a pleasing appearance.
Blooms pretty much continuous all summer one established. Most of the spent flowers clean.
Don't know that 'Beloved' has opinions re the rest of your comments. LOL
If all goes well this year, it should be available for next year.
