"Rosalind Sarver" blooming again.......

Norwalk, IA(Zone 5b)

This old hybrid I did, is named after a dearly departed friend from Calif, Rosalind Sarver, she was known as the Queen of the cannas.She ran a huge canna farm and was enthralled with a common yellow brug I gave her on a visit to the nursery. So after she died at the young age of 96 ( and she was still working the nursery) I name dthis yellow seedling after her. Awesome fragrance blooms mostly in the short days of the year for some reason. Has a lovely cactus flower scent.
