Very nice!

The Australia Canna was new for us in 2007 and it is one of my very favorites!


What is in the blue tub? A banana?

Yes it is a banana a red something (not edible). I found the blue tub in a trash pile…Dave’s indicated it was full sun but the edges of the leaves have turned brown. I like its location but I think I need to find a shadier spot.
I like the Australian very much I need to put it in a larger pot. Your website said at least two gallons but I did not have one when it arrived.

I love my banana trees! You can see them in blue tubs on the above water cam.

We will have to cut them off in the fall because they are too tall to go back in the greenhouse.

And Rich made me promise to never ask him to put one in my pond again!

We bought the blue tubs at the dollar store. Not exactly the color I had in mind but they were reasonably priced and we needed 15 of them!
