Thanks for the compliment!
While looking yesterday I stumbled upon pictures of Bengal Tiger cannas and thought they looked just like mine as well. Now I'm going to ask my wife if maybe the tags on the plants (if that was correct) said Tropicana Gold, which was the plant first mentioned by Nucci60.
I started reading up on canna care right after my wife brought them home.
Overall I guess It doesn't matter what type I've actually got as long as I take care of them. BUT it is nice to know when people ask me. However I guess it wouldn't be hard for someone to find some that look at least pretty darn close. If not exactly them, Bengals sure are close!
