A little fiery burst of colour in the morning sunlight. Even the lavender is still flowering #canna #lavender #orange #yellow #purple #bestofoctober #ajoct22

Gorgeous colours

Hoping I get to see this one open fully Jason. The earlier bud withered before it opened. Just been out to give it a good watering 🤞🤞 @hebelover

So…in answer to the question will the flower be yellow or orange? It’s both! 🤦‍♀️😂 #canna #canna-bengal-tiger #canna-pretoria #ajsept22

Bonus! 💘😍

Gorgeous 🧡💛

Yay 💛🧡💛

Oh wow 🤩

Fabulous

Thank you all so much..can’t wait to see what this one looks like when it opens! 🧡💛🧡 @ShelleySnyder @hkyfvr @pelly @juliesgarden @hebelover @gjones

Always welcome Angela. Will be beautiful 💛🧡💛

My pleasure! 💘😍

So excited…my first flower on its way! And yes, it’s definitely orange @ShelleySnyder 😀 #canna-pretoria #canna-tropicanna #orange #ajsept22 #morningdew

Yep! Pretoria, beautiful! 💘😍

💯% Shelley! 🧡 @ShelleySnyder

Morning all, bit cooler today. Hope you have a lovely #foliagefriday #canna

You too 💚💛

You too Angela 💚💛💚

That's lovely

Love the markings on some of these tropical cannas, they look great with or without flowers @charlotte

Gorgeous foliage

Hi Angela! Actually your canna is #canna-pretoria if you tap on that and take a look see you will find yours, the way to tell the difference between tropicanna gold and Pretoria is that Pretoria has a dark very thin edge on it like yours and your flowers will be orange not yellow, but either way this canna is gorgeous! 💘😍

Beautiful foliage 💚💚

Fantastic foliage Angela. We went down to 3 degrees last night. 🙀

Love the foliage on this Tropicanna. It looks like it’s got a flower about to bloom too, so can’t wait to see it in its full glory 😀 @hebelover @midnightgardener @hkyfvr

Not looking forward to those kind of temperatures Diane! Hoping we can get through to the end of October before I have to start overwintering my tropical plants 🤞🤞 @hkyfvr

Ooh….thank you so much Shelley! It was sold to me as the Gold variety. I actually wanted a Pretoria but they said it hey were sold out! You’ve just made my day! 😀😂😘 @ShelleySnyder

And another nice pot 🪴😄

That looks beautiful….is that another behind it….

Looking good & the banana's looking very imposing in the background 👌

Although this one isn’t second hand, it was still a bargain from T K Maxx. Do love hunting for bargains! 😆 @hebelover

Thanks Elaine 😀 The one behind is an Ensete, an Ethiopian banana tree….first year growing it and it’s surpassed my expectations. Love it! @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks Jeff! The banana tree is now completely hiding the little figure sat on the plinth. It’s truly claimed this corner as it’s own! 😆 @jeatacake

They are beautiful and I’d love one…….how do they cope in winter..

They need to be overwintered Elaine. I bought mine at an end of season sale last September. It was small enough I just left it in its pot in a very sheltered protected coldframe. This year I will need to dig it up, cut the leaves off, tip it upside down for about a week to drain any water then dry store wrapped in horticultural fleece. First year I’ll have done this. Desperately hoping I get it right & it comes through as I’ve fallen in love with it!!! @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

These spread quickly, won't be long before it's filling your lovely planter 😍

Wow that’s a bit of work I’ll have to think about that…..I’d have thought for it to grow bigger it would have to stay in the pot….but I know nothing about them….may have to think about that…🤔 thanks

Looking forward to seeing it do its thing…got a real bug for all things tropical now! 🌴 😀 @angiecrazycatlady
