Canna 2014

Got the first flower spikes of the year appearing on my altensteinii and musifolia, they should flower before any dramatic change in weather, especially given the forecast is looking good

Also got Cleopatra, Pretoria an unnamed hybrid and Australia still flowering after several weeks

 

@Richard360 Pm me your address and i will send you some

 

Something keep chomping on all my flowers? i keep checking but finding nothing

 

I stupidly bought a 'Cleopatra' tuber at Wyevale last Spring, it wasn't Cleo (I bet none of them were) and it as virused so it was destroyed. If anyone reckons they might have a Cleo tuber, pm me somtime and and I'll swap for a Canna Tropicanna Black tuber.

 

I dont have any Cleopatra anymore, gave them all away and the bit I was left with only had dark shoots and red flowers.

 

Strongy - I have some (courtesy of Pete) and have just sent you and Pete a PM.

 

Well its getting late in the year now but my Canna musifolia has just started flowering, I much prefer the muted tones of this and my Altensteinii which should soon follow rather than the bright and showy hybrids

 

Anyone fancy an id for me?
The seed for this came from @joolz68 but the label went walkies.


Late flowering, and even then only if I bring it indoors. Tallish at 120cm...................


Really nice plain green leaves...................


Thanks Joolz!

 

Nice Canna but doesn't ring any bells, sorry Keith

 

Thats a stunner keith! I cant remember what seeds i sent you sorry
Was it from seeds i had collected last yr? or from my seeds i had bought from karchesky the season before? as she had sent me a packet of hybrids as a token(with my main order) which i distributed
Its a keeper for sure x

 

It was the Karchesky seed Jooz.
