    The all-"black" leaves that I have had on some shoots on Cleopatra are pretty dark - both Chimera and Black?!

    Karchesky and Harris Cannas in America (who I have had seed from; excellent service too, highly recommended :dbgrtmb:), have an all maroon plant of 'Cleopatra', described as a spot/reversion of the original;

    If you click on Al Cannas in the side menu you then get options on how to view their Cannas (there's A LOT :hate-shocked::snork:)

    http://www.karcheskycanna.com/

    I'm not sure if this website is still active so to speak because any input seems to stop in 2008!!!, they have a blog though which is up to date as of last week;

    http://karcheskycannablog.blogspot.co.uk/

    I got my seed from them through their Ebay shop, don't know how else you would order from them??

          Looking good Armandii :blue thumb: , my 'altensteinii' flower is at about the same stage and is so slow in developing/opening, had it been produced earlier in the year I'm sure it would have been open by now :)
