Looking for Cleopatra Canna will trade for a Tropicanna

(Tammie) Odessa, TX(Zone 7b)

My Cleopatra Canna did not survive my cat using the area as a litterbox! Darn Cat! I have a small growing tropicanna I can trade for a cleopatra. I really miss that irregular unpredictable red stripe in the leaf and who knows what the flower is going to look like.

Here is a picture of the tropicanna I am wanting to trade.. it is in a small pot right now.. I split it off a clump I dug out of my mothers flowerbed to put into my own. I know most say they are virused and this one could be also... but it is growing beautifully at my mothers where it gets lots of water, morning and early afternoon sun with late afternoon and evening shade. It is BEAUTIFUL .. She is wanting me to split it up and spread it more along that whole fence because it looks better than anything else.

Here is a picture of the rest of the clump I split it from.. this is the part that is going into my yard.

Edited to say.. the green spiky thing is a gladiola that is coming up in the dirt with it.. there are some baby ones coming up along with it too!
