Canna 2012

Its just bad photography,stay in the bubble armandii

 

Check the stem , I`ve noticed that infected canna have mosaic stem as well as the leaves and the flower....It hard to bin all the lot , I know i will be tempted to save few and maybe compromise next year again ....

 

Let go sal...dont spread the virus

 

I own about 30 cannas plants , about 15 different variety ......and the plants at the other end of the garden are looking fine .....should I trust them .

 

Isnt there any expert canna grower to send pics too to double check?canna virus forum?site seems a shame that people have to guess whats ok or not being unexperienced enough to really know and chucking good plants away for no reason im wondering if alice could help ? might be worth an ask sal x

 

Well described on this page I think?

Looking through the leaf with strong light behind (e.g. sun) should be possible to see if the veins are broken.

 

to my experience , the stem is the key fact ...broken line and so on....plus it`s really visible for who have grown cannas long enough to remember how they should look .

 

Don't be such a light-weight!, shake the moths out of your wallet and stop cowering below the parapet

Seed Parcel - FREE, no less !!!



And, so that you have a target in order to Keep Up with the Jones, here's my modest little purchasing effort - so far (so you'd better hurry up otherwise you'll get left behind )

 

KRISTEN

 

Hopefully I'll be able to germinate enough to have some spare seedlings to spread around in the Spring

 

shall we move this to seedswap like you did my dahlias

 

Half of LongK's garden was in there, flat packed is seed-packets , so you're deluding yourself mate. Lots of rare stuff you absolutely gotta-have

The photo definitely doesn't do it justice (modern super-compact cameras with enormously wide lens distorting the picture ... easy peasy to get the whole subject into the shot, never looks right when you see the result!

If a big padded envelop (A4-ish) and absolutely Billy-Bunter bulging shape

I've not got much in the way of Canna seeds. All the fancier once I grew from seed this year flowered late and I don't think their seed will mature. Storing the tubers this winter, and giving them an early start under cover next year, should mean some decent seed to harvest ... but not this year, sorry. I've got bucket loads of C. warscewiczii, but I doubt you will be wanting that?? as it isn't of particular impact.

 

I only moved my Dahlias Joolz, yours are still planted here
