Canna "Tropicana" (Indian Shot Plant)

This is growing on my patio, ideas for which were inspired by the Indian Prince's chocolate palace in the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" theme for the garden. Dark brown stems and leaves, with the orange blooms - definitely reminiscent of "chocolate orange" - and with an Indian link in an alternative name for this plant, too. Had to have it!!

its beautiful David

So is the sky, Eileen! best we've seen in 2 weeks! :-))

great isnt it , the good weather is meant to last here right into next week

Fab - pity am working most of the weekend :-((

Wow love the colour....

LOvely! But be careful Indy & Jen dont start flamenco dancing again!

I love chocolate orange David.....I was working this weekend too...just finished until tuesday evening, the weather is beautiful here too...and so is the Canna....:>)

Don't know if it's just my memory playing up, Motinot, but I think that we are later this year seeing those canna blooms? Seem to have waited forever for mine. Am going to get out in the garden soon this afternoon for a few hours "therapy", weather still glorious here, too. Have also got Rudbeckia "Chocolate Orange" in the garden, just not managed to get a decent pic of it yet.

Yes you really need therapy David! LOL!
My gladdies STILL havent flowered!

I think you are right David...my 'Tropicana Gold' flowered late too...but well worth it....:>)
