How Can This Be???

Spring Hill, FL(Zone 9b)

In April I divided up my canna's by cutting off some of the rhizome (or are they called tubers, I forget lol) . Anyway I planted them in my front flower bed and when they bloomed they are totally different looking that the plant I cut them off from. Can anyone tell me why this happend?? I don't know the name of the Canna I have as it was given to me last September. I looked for seeds after it's last bloom and there weren't any.
This first picture is the main plant I started with.
Thanks ,

The first picture looks like King Humpbert but the second one doesn't. You sure you didn't take divisions from more than one?

Hi Georgiaredclay,
The flower in the first pic is the only Canna I have. I don't have any others.....except now of course this new mutant strain LOL It is really puzzling me?
