I also have a Phaison, also called Tropicanna. It has gorgeously striped leaves and an electric orange flower.
Yours actually look more like Tropicana to me. The Humberts have a distinct yellow border around the orange.

HEY, thanks for your help, I think your right! I always thought my wife was nuts calling them tropicana cannas! (It sounds goofy) I think that the row I have on the left and in my retaining wall area is in fact that. And the ONE we were able to grow from a bulb on the right is the King humbert because I know some type of canna we bought was called the humbert, plus that has the green leaves, no stripes. I think the flowers look like that but i'm taking a second look to be sure. Thanks again.
