Orange Canna - It's my 1st
Congrats! That canna looks pretty good next to the house there.
nice Canna it looks a bit more red then orange to me tho. is that sun flowers i see or black eyed susan on the left side of the canna ? paul
They start off red then turn more orange as the sun fades them.
Yes those are sun flowers. They have multiple blooms on the stem. Next to them (hidden behind the brick column) are red sun flowers.
I also had a one bud bloomer that measured 13 inches across and that's after it went to seed. After I cut the flower off and cut all the branches off, I noticed that my mandevilla vine had wound itself around the stalk! Looked like the leaves and blooms of the mandevilla belonged to the sunflower. Go to Georgia Garden forum to see a picture on a thread I started.
The purple in the background is 'Black Knight' Butterfly Bush.
I'll take a pic of my yellow cannas soon. I've got some near the house and some at the pond thanks to phicks' planting instructions!
Anyone have an idea as to the name of these orange/red cannas?
Deborah
I knew those were sunflowers!! lol. Just decided to keep quiet in case I was actually wrong and couldn't tell the difference between the two. lol. Can't wait to see pics of the yellows.
i think the cannas are Orange Perfection. Pepper i thought you went out of town for a few days? paul
