Heres a Nother Water Canna
Thai Princes
Gorgeous, Paul. What color are those blooms? They look sort of like a plum color???? Also, I had yet another question for you. I was reading along in this forum: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/700123/ about some canna disease???? Can you tell me anything about it or is it even real? Thanks!
Belinda

thats nice,can you show more pics of this one sometime.thanks
It is good practice to clean your tools with bleach and a bit of dish soap between different groups of cannas when you are dividing and when putting in new cannas. Some people get paranoid and think every little torn spot or bug chew is virus. Once you see it then it is pretty much unmistakable as there is shriveling and necrotic plant tissue in the veins. I saw it on the internet and on a plant at a department store. When you see it then you can`t miss it. That is why I mix a bucket of bleach and soap to clean my shovel between groups of cannas originating from a certain rhizome or plant I purchased. Also I don`t dip the shovel in the bucket but I wash the dirt off, pour a cupful of the solution on it and rinse with the hose. I think this might help keep from spreading disease to all of them in case one has it but doesn`t show symptoms yet.
