| piksihk | On July 29, 2018 | Bloomed peachy color one under back pecan tree; from trade |
| piksihk | On February 27, 2017 | Bloomed Pruned down leaves that got zapped by cold last month; new green leaves and blooms this week |
| piksihk | On May 10, 2016 | Transplanted HW round bed |
| Blondmyk | On October 7, 2014 | Miscellaneous Event I noticed that the seed pods have developed! While I'm unsure of what I will get, it should be interesting to see if the cross pollination took, or if another Indica flower pollinated the flower as well as what I did. There are a lot of blooms out there right now, and a total of 7 seed sacks growing, all still very green. |
| Blondmyk | On September 29, 2014 | Miscellaneous Event First new flowers have appeared since the transplant. I also had Cannus Cleopatra blooming, so I took the opportunity to attempt a cross pollination. I have marked the pollinated bloom on Cannus Indica by using a twisty tie. Hopefully I'll get seeds. |
| Blondmyk | On September 12, 2014 | Miscellaneous Event Transplanted approximately 10 new plants into the bed of Canna Indica I have currently planted in the Backyard attained from Apt 5's front yard from under their A/C. Plants seem to have taken the transplant well. |
| TexasPlumeria87 | On October 4, 2015 | Seeds sown After a 48 hour soak, some sprouted roots. |
