Yellow Canna BractThis is another Canna that my mom sent me as a bulb about 10 years ago. It has bloomed a couple of times each year for the last few years but it never had such a cool leaf or bract around the flowers like this. Even in the back yard there are always new surprises. |

Flaming BoquetI recently took a similar photo of this Canna. But, this time the light was just a little bit different. I can only assume that these guys are called Lucifer Cannas because they look like fire when they bloom. And the evening sun only enhanced the effect! |

Backyard BlossomsThis is a plant that my mom sent me many years ago ('bout 9) as just a root in a package. It has survived the heat of the desert in Palm Springs and living for five years on a small patio. It is finally really happy. It has a spot that it loves and an automated dripper. And every time it explodes like this I think of my mom!This photo looks a bit like a watercolor to me. Especially the out of focus plants in the background. |

Lucifer CannaMy mom gave me this Canna many years ago and it is blooming again. It was never very happy in a pot until we got two very tall (2.5 feet) skinny (12") pots. It seems to love to put its roots down, way down.It is called a Canna "Lily" but it is more closely related to Ginger and Banana plants. |

Canna Close-upOne of my favorite subjects, flower closeups. This was actually the theme of my first show at the Santa Barbara Public Library in August '04This one is a special favorite because the plant was a gift from my mom over six years ago, and it is still going strong. |
