Nice to have flowers this early. Mine don't flower until late summer or early autumn. Looks like a small species, do you know which one?

Cheers, Barrie.

Very nice bloom.

I will be putting my corms in the ground this weekend.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps

I kind of went a little 'palmy'.

Crimson, King Humbert, R. Wallace, Wyoming, Lucifer, Tropicana, Tropicana AG, Pink Beauty, Piccaso, Praetoria and Stuttgart. I also have a 3' solid orange flowered one that I got last year and left in the shelter over winter to see if it would survive. I don't know it's name. None of mine look like yours.

I was more interested in the foliage variations than the flowers on my new purchases. This should be among the last of my major purchases. I hope to finally have the yard complete this year.

Allen,

😆 😆 😆 That's quite a variety you have there. Yes, I'm also looking to get some w/ varigeted foilage. I already have more than enough of the standard green and purple leafed varities. I am in the process to of getting some tall ones. They are Canna 'Omega' and Canna musafolia.

Very Nice. I have 1 Tropicana that has a leaf above the surface so far. There are still a few that I have not planted yet.

It has been slow going as my arm keeps bleeding every time I use it.
