Thank you so much everyone. I haven't seen my neighbor, she's been out all day, but her son is supposed to come to her house and put some in for her this weekend. I'll try to find out more info about it when I do - like did these survive the winter outside at his house, were they against a wall, etc? I'll also show him a pictures of Canna flowers and see if that what he is talking about. I'll get back with any updates.
Just want to add that if they are Canna, and are gigantic, then I'll have no place for them here as I now have a small garden that is already pretty crammed packed and bursting at the seams. I'd have to put them in pots if I were to grow them.
