Cannas: CANNA ? ( Continued ) # 11

My two Tropicannas don't give seed.
But I am hoping this one does.

I guess I will know in about 5 weeks.

Wish me luck.

Hey Kell !

I'm back on, just was busy with life, moving, blah blah.

Now living in Easy Bay, CA with new clayish dirt to dig in.

Hi Red,

Welcome back..

Did you ever cut that Tree Next Door down ?

How are the rug rats ?

How about some pictures of your new Garden.

By a request from pepper23. (the boss) ^_^

As there is no one looking on my new Canna Thread.
I might as well continue here on the old one. ;o)

This next Canna is a dark pink colour.

Same Flower spike, different angle.

I'll be going back to the Public Park where I took these Pictures tomorrow.

I hope they have put out some seed when I get there. ^_^

Looks like one of my first time Flowering Cannas is trying to put out seed.
It looks like the seed is starting on the right of this Picture.

This Canna always looks a tad straggly ?

Personaly I would NEVER grow a Canna from seed.
When you have 10 different Cannas growing in close proximity.
There is a 99.99% chance of cross polination.
And what have you got then ?????

True to genus Cannas are grown from root corms.
Canna (or Canna lily, although not a true lily) is a genus of nineteen species of flowering plants.

I like the thrill of the surprise!

You have a very strong point there Roxxanne.

I was thinking more Scientifically. ^_^

I have a few that I wanted specifically Tama Tulipa, Panache, Ehemanii, En Avant. The rest are from seed. I just got some seeds from Alice, I want to grow some really tall ones this year. I got Costa Rica, Argentina, Flame, Red Stripe. I like the smaller flowers.

This is one of my only smaller Flowering Cannas.

And a Close-up.
