No, I am not muddled .. this is C. 'Cleopatre,' not to be confused with C. 'Cleopatra', the "retail" name of C. 'Yellow King Humbert.'
The first reference found for this canna is in Searle’s catalogue of 1927, although it was introduced by A. Crozy, Lyon, France in 1895.
Both a friend (a hybridizer and horticulturalist) and I have grown C. 'Cleopatre' along side C. 'Crepe L'Orange' (from different sources) and found no differences, nor any "official" references to a canna by the name of 'Crepe L'Orange'.
C. 'Cleopatre' is rather small but not a dwarf. It has green foliage, fertile pollen but sterile seeds, thick rhizomes, and a spreading habit.
