Canna's, petunias and pineapple, strange recipe!!

So Many Lovely Colours JJ :)

Great pot display, well done - which Canna is that?

Thanks Jaque, I like to do unusual colour combinations, sometimes it works and others I hide behind the shed!

Yes Bamboo, it's Canna Indica - Indian Shot. The leaves light up like candles when the suns bright.I think theres one on my gallery if you want to see what I mean.

Nice mix - love the canna.

Love the combination JJ, Love it...Going to my fave's to copy next year lol.

Thanks Daisy, I'm very flattered that you like it that much. Let me know how it goes?

Must be more to the name than Canna indica though - I've got that growing in my garden and its not this colour, plus I have Canna indica Durban and a couple of others, but none of them has this colour leaf. Varietal name?

Not as far as I know Bamboo...I've had it for years and it was just in the ground, unprotected,and not lifted for winter until last year.
I was re-designing that part of the garden so it had to move. It stayed in the greenhouse in a bucket until I planted up the urn this spring, so it's a tough customer whatever it is.
You've got me wondering what it is now!

Most Canna Labels from GCs say Indica, Such a Bumma, its up to us to find out which one it is I suppose..I have a lovely Dark leaf'd one with Bright orange flowers and I havent a clue which one it is..Its Gorgeous Anyway so im not too bothered..

Well Daisy Dee,
I think I agree with you, the lack of name doesn't destract from the plant itself.
However, it's very popular and I do get asked about it a lot, just wouldn't like to give out wrong info really.
I've posted up 3 shots of it from last year, is it the same one that you have ?
Jen

Did it taste good?

It Looks the same jen, mine has only had 1 flower so far..

I need the name so I can go and buy it Daisydee - last thing I want is another like any of the five I've already got! I've got a dark leaved one with orange flowers too, can't remember what its called, but it doesn't have such a great leaf colour as the one in your pix, Junglejen.

looks georgous JJ

8-)) Funny you should say that M....we do eat quite a lot of flowers from the garden but haven't tried these yet!
Has anyone had a quick look at the shots I've posted up from last year, I'd like to get the name for Bamboo? All ideas are welcome.....
Thanks San 8-))

:~))) LOL!

That is absolutely gorgeous JJ

Cheers my dear!
