#canna #orange

@lamaisonbleueoleron best light of the day Steve......

Blimey that's early. I assume it's under cover?

@mikethegardener no it's in my garden, been out for a month now!

Love it! 👍🏻

@ellenmarygardening thanks Ellen, it's nice to see some colour in my garden....finally!! 🌴🌴😎😎

Tropical colour at that 😉😎 Really lovely 👍🏻

😊and this early on really pretty

👏😍 Beautiful

I agree Nick, that's the best time of the day to take snaps 📷 well maybe not at 5am though 😱 unless I'm on snail duty 🐌🐌

Nice surprise to find one of my Red Canna will bloom soon! 😎😎 #tropicalflower

Exciting!!! Just bought some Canna bulbs. Any tips? Can I sow outdoors or do I need to start them off first.

@heleno81 I would start them off with some warmth, as soon as you see some growth can go outside. You'll get it to flowering stage quicker! 🌷

Cool - thanks for the info. 👍

Wow, that's really early - is this growing indoors @drnicko ?

@richard.spicer.7906 no it's outside in my garden, was overwintered in polytunnel, so a little cheating.....😉

Ah, I see 😉

Nice! #canna

Love Cannas

@mikethegardener I like them too, but they just seem to multiply like gremlins!! 😃

Deb, If you've got room plant them in the ground. They should do fine but will die back once the cold hits... www.burkesbackyard.com.au/fact-sheets/in-the-garden/flowering-plants-shrubs/canna-lilies/ @latebloomer

They don't mind hot. Maybe put some in a pot, just in case?? But I'm sure they'll do just fine!! @latebloomer

My seed grown plants large enough to repot. These are "Canna Tuerekheimi".

#canna #seed

No!! @latebloomer just I find takeaway containers cheap for tissue grafting (they can sterilised) and make cheap seed/starting pots. Got 500 with lids for £30.....

@latebloomer Canna are lillies that have great tropical foliage and growing to about 4-6 feet high, depending on cultivar and produce long stems with lovely highly coloured flowers. Also known as Indian Shot 👎👎🍽☠☠

@latebloomer I don't see why not. They are very easy to start from seed. If you need I can tell you how to get them to germinate quickly. They are fast and start growing wishing 1-2 weeks. My seedlings are about 1 month old.

Deb, I suggest you grow water Iris and #Lythrum salicaria. How deep is your pond? How wide? Have you built plant shelves along the edge or will you be submerging all plants?
