but the sun is back now.
It was a cold and foggy morning
What a gorgeous shot!
Beautiful! Are those the Phiason Canna? What a statment they make!
I'm SO jealous! Your pond and gardens are SO beautiful!!
Thank you all.....it was an unusual morning and we had the fog again this morning til about 10AM. An odd couple of days but close to 90 again this PM.
Those are indeed the 'Tropicanna (aka Phaison, Orange Durban)' - Canna x generalis Zanymuse. http://plantsdatabase.com/go/3301/
Beautiful garden, Happenstance.
Where is Clayton?
Thanks TLChef! San Francisco Bay Area, specifically East Bay, going East and uphill beyond Walnut Creek at the base of Mt. Diablo.
Its so pretty it doesn't look real!
I thought so! I have got to save some money to order a couple of them! Last time I priced them they were way outta my budget but hopefully the prices will have come down a bit by now. They sure look wonderful in your setting.
Wowser!!!!!!What a spot!you have it so nice!
There's a closeup of the MG arbor on another thread:

Zanymuse - have you tried HD or other chains, they have them here in the Bay Area at better than online prices.
I don't fertilize these behind the pond, the will grow HUGE with lots of TLC. They die back in the winter, but come back stronger each year. Makes a great windscreen and shades the pond during the summer, but allows more light during the winter months.
Zany,
I emailed you; I have an extra for you if you want it
YES! TLC you have mail :~) grinnin from ear to ear here!
If I had to look at that every day, I would think I had died and gone to heaven!!
What an oasis you have...such a statement against the
bare brown hills!
