Canna Lily
Canna x generalis
(KAN-uh) (jen-er-RAY-liss)
We are once again enjoying
having some Cannas in the garden, well in containers actually. This one (sorry
it came without a name) has been really cheery and bright up against the white
house walls. The foliage is good and has a nice pattern of gold stripes. More
than half the fun in cultivating these plants are in the leaves although I have
noticed that the newer varieties seem to be very good at self cleaning and
don’t really need deadheading. We do continually groom these particular
specimens just because of their central location.
The country fair was
interesting yesterday. Erika had a good time seeing all the animals and riding
the various rides. I enjoyed the Border Collie demonstration and the tractor
pulls. The musical entertainment was a little lacking and there should have
been a couple of bands. We had a good time and there will probably be a few
pictures coming up this week.
