The bletillas are fantastic, Ken. I have a tiny start of Bletilla 'Rickey' with two finger-sized leaves. I'm wondering if it's just too darned hot for them here, since both you and Ursula show them growing happily outside "up north". The Cyps are just lovely, too. I suppose those must grow in Vancouver quite well, too but I must admit I've never seen them in anybody's garden there.
I'm definitely going to try to clone that hedychium sport. If its next shoot is the same great variegation, it's coming outa there and into a pot.
Here's a shot of the main clump, the tallest is nearly 7ft. now. I don't get it, last year they were just about 4ft, which is what the plant description says.
Now this Canna 'Stuttgart' is supposed to have wonderful variegation and never has had a single swipe of white on the nice blue-green leaves. I've even bought it from two different sources.
Another nice (small) canna, and my faithful red daylily that re-blooms about every 2 months from April right through to winter. All my other daylilies peter out but this one is great!
