The Hummingbird’s Ghost
Monday, October 12th, 2009
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 Is Ready For Her Close-up
Sunday, September 20th, 2009
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.

Canna seedling ‘Sugar Lips’
Sugar Lips has pale cream stamanodes (petals) covered with small light pink spots and magenta lines on the labellum (lower petal). The foliage is blue-green. It is from one of Alice Harris’s hand-crossed whites seeds. I’ve decided to plant this one in the ground for further testing.
Sugar Lips hangs out on the patio.

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.
