My Canna americanallis var. variegata 'Pretoria' , or Orange-flowered Variegated Canna Lily is in bloom. I did a post a few weeks ago about a house I visited that had a lot of Banana's and Canna's. Well buried in the back of my potted plants that I have collected I found this Canna. Seems as though I already owned a canna and had not realized it because it had not bloomed. I thought it was just another ginger. I pulled it out the other day as I was going through the potted plants and picking weeds. This guy caught my eye and I left it out. Well a few days went by and BAM it has bloomed. What timing. Here are the pictures of the Orange-flowered Variegated Canna Lily.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.
