Damn Dean, make me feel bad. My cannas haven't even come up, either the ones I planted the bulbs this spring or the few I left in the ground from last year.What varieties do you have?

Just some of the canna musafolia (Hawaiian canna) that are blooming. The others have done anything yet.

This is the year I've been waiting for... the year for BLOOMS!
My 2 Paw Paws both have blossoms after growing for 7 years. First time I will taste Paw Paw.
First time for a nana bloom (Ice Cream)... waiting 4 years.
Pineapple Guava has a ton of blossoms (grown from seed over 3 yrs ago).
Foxglove planted from seed in '08 has 1st buds forming (they're so pretty!)
Giant Iris & peonies are ready to pop.
Cherimoya & Loquat are of blooming age but still waiting.
Oh, and how could I forget the 5 in one apple tree I bought for Mike! I grafted 2 more varieties to it last year & they took, but the Anna & Golden Dorset both blossomed & have baby apples on! It has to cross pollinate w/ another variety. I planted it in Spring '08.

Cory, I posted pics of my nana bloom. If I had to post pics of all the plants I named, it would take me 5 years LOL, as my puter is very slow so you'll just have to trust me

It never hurts to ask, LOL. Btw, I was highly (to say the least) impressed with your banana plant, in the "Main Banana Discussions" thread, with the flag leaf. I definitely look forward to photos of that particular flower.

PS I do trust you, girl. I just like looking at photos!

2 of my biggest rhubarb plants are blooming w/flower stalks
We don't even eat the rhubarb...not sure why I let it grow

I need to dig them up & move them somewhere out fo the way
They take up too much room

RHUBARB PIE!!?? Or strawberry/rhubarb pie...cheesecake...kuchen!?? I knew a guy who never picked his rhubarb & one day his neighbor asked if she could have some. She brought him a pie she made of it & now every year he looks forward to her pie & she takes all his rhubarb.

An amaryllis I had forgotten I had as it was buried in the "jungle". The semi-shade guys are looking good at the moment.

The phals are doing well too.


Gingers glowing in the dark.

and this unknown beauty is one of my favourites - even more coppery in real life.
