New Orange Canna Seedling

This canna seedling has spidery orange flowers.

Another orange seedling! I like this one very much! The soft orange flowers are about 3 inches across. It seems to be a dwarf with lightly wavy green foliage.

Another canna blooms indoors

Slightly wavy foliage similar to C. 'Orange Punch'

Canna Seedlings In The House

This darling pink canna is blooming in the house.

On the day it snowed, I could not stop myself from bringing in some of my canna seedlings. I grouped them up by the sliding glass door and they are starting to bloom! This canna grew from a seed of the dwarf white Ermine. It seems to be a dwarf, also. The foliage looks just like the leaves of Ermine. I love the yellow markings on pink.

Looks like a keeper!

Last Minute Seedling Blooms

One of my seedlings finally opened a little orange flower.

I waited and waited for this one to bloom. I really like the long narrow foliage and got excited when I saw an orange and yellow petal peaking out of the bud. The flower turned out to be quite small.
