    :cool: That's a lovely display, roders, and look beautiful all together. Your rose-coloured Canna is actually rose-coloured (Bob's is pale yellow and I didn't have any such seeds :scratch:), your peach one seems slightly more orangey but what a lovely colour it is ... and your yellow one was the one seed from the Italian Group which is yellow with spots! :cnfs:

    I'd trade your tomatoes any day for mine which had to be moved into the shade but are doing very well again now. I think they say about 6 hours of sunshine a day ripens them nicely but I don't know for what period of time! :D

    Thanks for putting the pics up ... it's nice to know how things are growing when they have gone elsewhere. :)

    Roders and Victoris - those Cannas are splendiferous. I have tried them up here - but they don't seem to like it.

    Splendid Cannas Roders (and Vicky). I'll be interested to see how they do over winter.
