This one has good color and scent
Dats
Closer look
Nice with the cannas,I like it
Wow! Root. Its really a compact good Datura you have there. I like that canna too. btw. isn`t that nicotiana sylvestris there in the background? Heck, I love everything in your flowerbed :D
Yes it is Tonny,I'm really hooked on the canna in front,Kyle gave it to me,it looks like a banana but has red laced leaves.
nice contrast too Root----I love it!!
Do I see a banana canna in this foreground??LOL
That is my favorite canna also. The person who made that one must have died in ecstasy when the leaves first opened!
kell I was teasin Bob..he got the start from me at the plant swap this past spring!! LOL
Well, one of you guys is going to have to save a root for me for next year. Love that leaf.
Just send me to the back of the room! LOL. I was only seeing the Tropicanna canna.
Hi Root,
I'm new to dats but have fallen for them and am learning fast. Your dat reminds me of Cream n sugar? Is itt? I just bought some seeds off ebay of that variety and sowed them tonight in plastic baggies with paper towels. I'm hoping for the best.
Your dat looks like a happy girl. Good going!
PlantRfun not sure if it is Cream and Sugar,I got seeds in trade here,you will love Dats,some are slow to start so be patient
Kell,here is Banana Canna.
Very nice, Root. what color are the blooms?
Root: Put me down for a nana canna too, if youv'e got any left this fall. I know I will have something good to trade with you. Very nice garden, sure has mine beat.
Root, loved your first shot looks like a tropical forest. I have a few cannas. All except the one growing in the pond have the colored leaves. i don't really care if they bloom, just like the leaves. Your Banana Canna is very nice. Donna
Thanks Donna!
Debby I will keep you in mind if it divides!!
Kell it is just opening and has a pretty unusual pink bloom.
oh my goodness. so is that a canna or a banana? It is beautiful. Can you do a close up of that bloom for me Root? I love it.
Gotcha Kell,didn't I owe you one?
that flower is so pretty but LOL Root!!! I am so confused. Why are the leaves so different on the close up than the last picture you posted?
I was teasing you Kell,the flower came off one Shirley gave me,not sure of the name,the top got knocked over in a storm,so I picked it for a vase,could not resist putting it on the Banana canna for you,LOL!
you are so bad!!! And here I thought you thought you owed me a banana canna and I was not going to argue with you! YES YOU GOT ME!!!!! LOL and that flower sure looked familiar to me!!
The pink flower is Justicia. I almost fell for it till I saw the close up! I was thinking "I gotta find that banana canna if the blooms look like that"!
Shame, shame-----you got my heart fluttering with a I gotta have that!!!!
Susie, maybe you can sell him some bug doo. LOL

Looking GREAT Root! I've just been popping in the last few days so didn't have time to post. I just love that canna, it's my favorite. I winter one over in a pot each year.
Love your yellow datura! I'm SO hoping that I have the yellow one planted and not the double purple.
I'll be waiting for more pictures. Can't seem to get enough of them.
Thanks Dat!
Kell the scar in my jaw is still there,when you got me hook line and sinker with the picture of your friend in your garden!LOL!
Root does Justicia produce seeds? and ummm if it does since we are old buddies old pals and go wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back to tricycle days---ummm could you would you send me a seed or two this fall if it can be propigated like that? Dont make me tell "when rootdoc was a little kid stories" lol lovely canna and lovely pink bloom thingy too. cheryl
LOL Root, I had forgotten about that!
Yes Susie, sell Root some of that potent bug doo for we all know Root just loves good doo. LOL Barb, how did you hear about Susie's famous bug doo?
I knew that flower looked familiar. Doesn't Dee and Tracey have Justicia and have sent us pictures Susie?
Plays if I get seeds I sure will get some to you.
Kell hope that leg is not sore from me pulling it,LOL.
Not sore Root, but I am now walking with a limp one got pulled so long.
They all look awesome Root!
Everything looks so great together Root!
Nice pictures Root.
Kell, head it when I was at Roz's. You were missed.
Thanks Barb! I sure wish I could have met you also!
That was one of Susie's funniest moments and did she tell you I believed her hook line and sinker! So did Roz and I think Peggy and Frannie did also. Tracey was probably too smart to! LOL. She really had us all going. She sounded so plausible.
Kell, please do tell more about that meeting. I really would like to read more about it.
