Well, there are many times lately that I envy those who don't have year round gardening. Sometimes one really does need a break.
I'm not real excited about the large flowered cannas, but I really do like this form of canna, the Indian Shot type. They can blend into a border more subtly and don't have the big 'tropical' effect. I'd recently looked at a pic of the pure yellow form and thought that I'd like to have that also...I was at a Botanic Garden yesterday...and they had the yellow form....it had seed pods....
