Canna anybody tell me what these are?

Headland, AL(Zone 8a)

WHen the weather turned warm this past spring, we had lots of these small cannas popping up under the naner trees. Ovbviosuly the previous owners planted them...but neglected to leave any info as to what they are. I moved them to the front bed where they can get more light and they ahve really gone bonkers ...multiplying like rabbits...and finally blooming! The leaves are plain green and they are really small compared to my red cannas. Heck, for that matter, they are small compared to my Bengal Tiger and my Striped Beauty. I don't know if you can tell by the pic (I don't have a zoom feature on my camera so it is hard to get good close ups...guess what Santa is bringing me next Christmas????)...anyway, the flowers are bright yellow with orange speckles in the throat.

Here is a close up...but like I said, it is blurry because of my lousy camera. Oh well, what can you expect from a digital camera that is about 5 years old???

Richard Wallace is a yellow with red speckles.....Are those white petals with the yellow, or just spent blooms?

Not sure...I think they are just bleached from the heat. It is around 100 every day and drought conditons, so by the time the flowers open, they are wilted.

Maybe the cannas and the 'naners got together and made cabanas?

ROFL! Now that is funny...I don't care who you are! I finally got to see a bloom before the heat got to it. No white on them. Solid yellow with orange speckles in the throat.
