Frosty Morn

Woke up to 27 degrees and a heavy frost. It has turned out to be a pretty sunny day with a high of 45. Except for stepping out briefly to get some photos, I've not been motivated to go out. Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy

Canna "Panache"


This is Canna "Panache" that we purchased at Plant Delights. This was a plant that I first read about in Pam Harper's book "Time Tested Plants" and it has been on my wish list for a long time. It is rather unique looking for a canna, don't you think? The blooms look a little tired from the heat but it is performing nicely and growing fast.

  1. This is a most unusual Canna bloom. I have never seen nor heard of such a plant. It is beautiful.

  3. That's a beautiful canna bloom. Not as 'loud' as some can be.

  4. So lovely...much better than the typical, somewhat floopy-looking Canna flowers! I actually was browsing their website the other day and came upon Canna 'Intrigue'...which actually tempted me with those powdery pewter leaves...yum!

  5. From the picture I thought it was an orchid! Very interesting Canna bloom.

  6. Well, you know me and cannas. I finally had to get rid of all of them but one or two. The leaf rollers were unstoppable. They're finally leaving the few I have left alone.

  7. Beautiful and unique canna. Cannas do well here so this is one for the list.
