Need a Good Name for This Canna

Coal Center, PA(Zone 6a)

This has to be the longest naming for one of our cannas .. lol
Usually they just "speak" their names to me :)

My youngest Daughter wants to name her 'Alice in Wonderland' .. lol

Also suggested are 'Angel Eyes' and 'Almost Heaven'

It is a beauty. Lovely and innocent looking.
So what is it going to be??????? I still do not know : /

Here are some additional pics to see just how lovely she is.
Yes, it is definitely a "she" .. :)

'Alice in Wonderland'...how appropriate :)

Since she's a girlie girl, here's a few more names to consider:

Pink Ballet
Sky at Morn
Strawberry Serena

Prescott, AZ(Zone 7a)

Cotton Candy

Mesa, AZ(Zone 9b)

strawberry ice

(Clint) Medina, TN(Zone 7b)

I think it looks like:

"Girly Girl"

Damascus, MD(Zone 7a)

"Blushing Bride", although not sure how many brides actually blush nowadays :-D

Glenwood Springs, CO(Zone 5b)

Taking the whole plant together, It looks like the sky before a tornado warning is issued. Soooo how about "Tornado Warning".

Prescott, AZ(Zone 7a)

It also looks a little like a pink tomato, so maybe "Tomato Warning" (Sorry, I think maybe there's a problem with my monitor... that's what I read first in "tornado warning")

Actually I do like the idea of a name that suggests dark foliage i.e. "Strawberries and Smoke"

I took a vote here yesterday on all the suggesteds as I need to get it named.
They decided 'Strawberry Delight' is going to be it.

I copied a list of all the suggestions.
I am SURE I will be using some of them in the near future.
I will keep this thread posted which ones we us.

Thanks Everyone :)

You were leaning toward 'Strawberry Delight', and what a perfect fit.

Keep us posted on others. Has this been the longest suggestions of names or what?

cullman, AL(Zone 7b)

I also agree this name is perfect...

My Daughter is still going on about 'Alice in Wonderland'. lol
She is funny.

We will have to do this again. It was a lot of fun :)

Brandon, FL(Zone 9b)

Did you name the Canna yet?

Coal Center, PA(Zone 6a)

'Strawberry Delight'
I have kept some of the suggested names as needed for other new cannas down the line .. as some are very good names :)
Thanks :)

Bonham, TX(Zone 7a)

I would have thought strawberry chocolate ice.

Brisbane, Australia(Zone 10a)

Couple of impressive features in the photos - the leaves have a greenish/bluish/grey color with a reddish edging and reddish stems that complement the color of the flowers elegantly. The flower color is a lovely soft red and I love the fade out to the edges. Really nice work. Wouldnt have known that you could do cannas in zone 6!
