Canna 2014

Thank you x

 

Kristen - excellent introduction to large leaves - worth of a thread in its own right. But they do need space.

and added a bit more commentary

 

First flower on my ehemanii,after the rain and wind tonight has finished it could be trashed,lovely shade of pink me thinks

 

I like that one Joolz, must search out seed for next year

 

I thinks its rhizome only not from seed bilbo x

 

Doh! , change of plan then

 

Not the best photos but here's some of mine that are looking lush at the moment, all grown from saved rhizomes as I didn't get round to sowing seed this year

 

Reet healthly bilbo gotta get myself a cleopatra x

 

Canna Charlotte is starting to flower:

--
Lots of others on the way if I could just stop the snails eating the new growth ... I see some blue pelleted slug-death in their future..

 

Canna 'sky hawk '
Grown from seed last year but putting a lot more growth on this year from rhizomes.
Weather maybe a factor

 

New additions!
