Hummingbird’s Ghost is a seedling of C. ‘Pixie’.
Hummingbird’s Ghost has a cream-colored flower with some pink lines on the labellum. It is shockingly bland for a canna. The extra-long stigma made me think of a hummingbird’s beak.
Hummingbird’s Ghost has narrow blue-green leaves.

Sugar Lips’ flowers are covered with pink spots.
The cannas are beginning their Fall show here, although our weather is still quite hot. These two seedlings are interesting because their color is more nuanced than most cannas. You have to be really close to see the beautiful blending of color inside the flower.
Unnamed seedling of Madame Butterfly

Reflexed flower
A reflexed flower is one where the petals turn sharply backwards. This is a seedling of Canna ‘Thai Princess’. I bought the seeds on eBay.

Canna ‘Jimmie Jill’ is a seedling of C. ‘Ermine’
I want to name this canna after my sister-in-law, Jill Hill Forbes Fisher. She passed away in 2002. This canna flower is one of her favorite colors and Jill would have loved its playful look.
Jimmie Jill has wide-open apricot pink flowers.
I recently noticed that Jimmie Jill has a branching flower stem, so that means more flowers on each stalk. Self-cleaning, too, if the humidity is just right.
Jimmie Jill has wavy green foliage.

Grackleflap has small orange flowers.
I really love the foliage of this canna seedling. I want to find out how tall it will grow and if it will create seeds. I’ve decided to plant him in the pathway garden.
Grackleflap is a 2008 seedling.
