Thanks to the great members of Bananas.org, I have many new additions to my beds and wanted to thank each of you again. I could not have had such a great collection without you guys and gals!!! Now, I have some plants that are either just starting to bloom or are in full bloom and wanted to share a few pics with you. Several of these plants are from some of you. If you see something that you believe you are the proud parent of, speak up!!! I am sure you will recognize your own offspring!!! LOL Anyway, later this coming week, I will let you know who the contributor is of each plant...

Scot,
Thanks for the compliment, but I do not believe mine is the Indian Shot Canna. Most Indian shot is solid red and mine is a mix of yellow and red. I believe mine is Canna Patens. Here is a link to a good description of mine and a pretty good pic as well. (It is the 10th plant down!!)
Bulbs, Corms, Tubers - Zephyranthes, Canna, Costus, Crinum, Habranthus, Palianthes... (http://www.yuccado.com/displayengine//where%20ygroup='Bulbs,%20corms,%20tubers'//0//Bulbs,%20Corms,%20Tubers)
Whatever it is, I do enjoy it and this year is the first year it is blooming as well as it is... In the past it bloomed sporatically, but never like this year!!! Again, thanks for the compliment and best of luck with yours...

Thought I would go ahead and give indivdual thanks for the above plants...

#1) My local HD, sorry, but I still love this hibiscus...
#2) MsKitty
#3) Chris in Tampa
#4) Kylie2X
#5) ClevelandCathy
#6) A good friend that lives about 15 miles from me that got me into this
wonderful addiction...

Like I stated earlier you, the members of this site, are a GREAT bunch of folks and very generous. I truly am blessed to have been able to get to know a lot of you even if only through cyberspace. I would never have been able to create my own personal paradise without you. And for that,
I THANK YOU!!!!!

Yes, it is a double metal blue datura from Chris that I grew from seed this year. I have been really happy with its growth rate and overall vigor and appearance. Thanks for the compliment!!!

The Daturas are so cool. I've grown that one the past couple of years. Plant parts are toxic, so be careful!

Paula,
Just thought I would link you to a little bit of info on Daturas...
Rich Grow Datura (http://www.abads.net/Rich_Sanders/rich_grow_datura.htm)

Hope this helps, let us know if you would like to try them from seed. I have already gotten several pods that I will be saving for next season.

I disagree with the ID on 6. Its Canna patens, from Mexico( though I also see references to Southern Brasil). I have seen one source list this as a synonym for C indica though, but I disagree with that assessment. I am glad to see that the Monocot Checklist from kew also lists this one as a valid and accepted name.

Zac,
Thanks for the confirmation on the canna patens. I was told a couple of years ago that it was indeed a patens, but not many folks have been able to id at the house. It is an unusual little plant for me. It has flowered a little bit every year, but not much. This year, however, the two clumps that I have bloomed like there was no tomorrow. Seeds are falling all over the place and I have already harvested as many seeds as I cared to get. Again, thanks for the postive id...

Randy, this will be my 3rd or 4th attempt to send a photo of the C. patens seedlings from your seed. 8 out of 10 sprouted after filing and soaking until they germ. Photos from several weeks ago they are taller now.

Great job, Stan... Looks like you will have plenty for next year. Thanks for the update!!! Always nice to hear someone that I sent a plant or seeds to have had success getting them started in their garden. All the best...
