Hiya Re: Can anyone identify this plant for me?
Thanks, Migael! I really love it too. Something about that yellow in the center with the pink, just drives me...bananas! Of course I've been snapping shots like crazy and this one shows the 2 pups...





Gonna share them with a pal. Beth tells me if I leave the flower stalk intact even after it's spent, the plant may send up a few more suckers yet! What a cool type this is.





Any ideas on which exact variety it is? Someone was asking me on another site...


Also, do canna's produce seeds?

Here is a link you will enjoy. You can search cannas by size, leaf color, alphabetically, with lots of beautiful pictures.

Wink Re: Can anyone identify this plant for me?
Wow, thanks for that great list, JB! So many of them look similar. I'll have to look through more thoroughly when I have time.

Here's my Canna this morning. Three blooms are now open. Here's the newest one...

I'm thinking I might have "Tropical Salmon". Check this out...

Canna 'Tropical Salmon'


Even the buds look similar, and there's that yellow in the center. What do you guys think?

Smile Re: Can anyone identify this plant for me?
Thanks, Greg!

Found out some interesting information...


I called the 24-nursery where I got the Canna from and spoke directly to the lady in charge of the plants. She confirmed that it is definitely a dwarf Canna (as if we didn't know ). Apparently they only had five, and I was lucky to get one of them.

She said they got them from a gentleman that grows them here in London and that he didn't know which exact kind they were, except that they were a dwarf grown from seed. Also said that it isn't a perennial to this area and will require indoor protection.

I do think it very much resembles a "tropical salmon" but who knows for sure.

Wink Re: Can anyone identify this plant for me?
I noticed today that the second pup has sent up a flower stalk...





Over the weekend I picked up another dwarf canna at a different greenhouse. Unlike my other one though it had a label, and it's a "tropical rose". Makes me think all the more that my other one is called "tropical salmon". My new one has been transplanted into my garden and also has 2 pups. I'll show shots when it blooms in a week...

I got this one over the weekend
here is a link
PlantFiles: Detailed information on Canna Lily Canna x generalis 'Tropical Rose'

After reading about this canna and looking at some pictures posted in that link it kinda reminds me of yours the first picture says this canna is a shorter one too when I saw it it reminded me of yours. So it may be like yours !

Wink Re: Can anyone identify this plant for me?
The one I just bought was labelled as a "tropical rose" but the bud is different than the 1st unlabelled one I purchased. I believe it's a 'tropical salmon', but who knows for sure because there seems to be hundreds of varieties.


Anyway, thanks for all the help and comments you guys. I sure like Canna plants a lot.

Hiya Re: Can anyone identify this plant for me?
Does anyone know if these are seed pods? The flowers wilted and dropped and then these green pods began to grow...

Those are canna seed pods. They will kind of dry up when they are ripe and there will be black, round seeds in them (usually of a pretty large size). I have never gotten any canna seeds to sprout, but some cultivators sprout better than others (many dont even have viable seeds!)
