That is a very pretty canna I wonder if it could be Wyoming? My Cleopatras are starting to show a little red in their leaves. I did not even know they would do this. One of them bloomed today and the blooms are almost solid red with a few yellow Freckles. Might be labeled wrong too.

May I ask you a question? Your cannas are all beautiful but what is that variegated leaf in the pic of the Golden Lucifer pic. Its almost looks like a Magnolia

That is a variegated shrub - Pittosporum tobira ''Variegata" commonly called a variegated mock orange. I have several around the house. I have a weakness for variegated plants!

So do I. I thought it might be a Pittosporum after I looked again but the leaf looks so large and I thought they all had small leaves.

The leaves were closer to the lens of the camera as I backed up to get the all of the canna blossom in the shot. The bushes are pretty big though. I thought they were supposed to be a petite shrub, but they aren't as my house!

Holy shmokes, Cameron, these look like some giant blooms in the making. What kind are they?

Hi Olaf the variety is Cleopatra. Some of the plants get a dark maroon stripe on them. I've even had a couple that have been completely red. I never know which ones will have more maroon on them. Hopefully after I water tomorrow, the blooms should open up. The plants without the flower are a little over a foot tall.
