My Cannas











What a beautiful flower, red with yellow tips. I read recently that these plants were considered an eyesore here in the front yards of Brisbane in past years, because they just multiply and as a consequence you can divide them over and over. I've always seen the beauty in them. Now with the water restrictions we have, they're becoming popular as they are a hardy drought resistant plants that continue to flower and flower for months on end.

I agree Paul, BUT>.......... hardy? Drought resistant? Mine just love their water, and I have to 'top them up' each day, or they wilt? Hmm
