It's still going strong, but tonight's frost may put an end to it. I'm thinking of bringing it indoors, and seeing what happens.

I haven't seen this series but will have to look it up. I loved that version of A Christmas Carol, but believe it or not, the Disney version has become my favorite. My second favorite is the 1938 version with Gene Lockhart and my third favorite version is the one from 1951 with Alastair Sim...oh, and we really love Scrooged...LOL. Are you sorry you asked??!!

I've seen them on the island, and have admired their pretty veining, sturdy strength and impressive height, all hearty elements, but did not know what they were called, until now. <br /><br />Your canna, my dear Dewena, is thriving so beautifully; I am thinking that maybe, just maybe, RH has been whispering sweet nothings to it, every time he waters it, trying to make up for maybe judging it before he really got to know it! Your pics are amazing, and I'm certain, do it justice!<br /><br />I've never heard of the Wallander series, but then again, I haven't watched television in over 4 years.<br /><br />Wishing you a lovely rest of the week.<br /><br />xoxo<br />Poppy<br />Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-71338050790224854982018-09-24T20:19:57.817-07:002018-09-24T20:19:57.817-07:00I'm a terrible gardener, I don't have a gr...I'm a terrible gardener, I don't have a green thumb, but I love flowers and I love looking at everyone else's pretties.

Enjoyed it very much although the ending was kind of bittersweet. I've never heard of a canna, but I've seen them before. I wonder if they're a little like hostas, easy growing and not much care needed. Gotta like that! My SIL's favorite Christmas Carol is the muppet one. I just saw it last year . . . hmmm, maybe you have to grow up with that one to appreciate it! xo DeborahDeborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-59606824141697043602018-09-23T13:12:13.931-07:002018-09-23T13:12:13.931-07:00Dewena, your cannas are beautiful with the yellows...Dewena, your cannas are beautiful with the yellows and purples and green ribs showing through the leaves. I have always thought they were majestic plants. When I was growing up we had tall ones growing in Texas, and around ye olde outhouse in the 50s in Alabama, and then orange and gold ones in two of our back yards in upstate SC. I really like them myself. Take a rainy day in the spring and loosen the soil around them with a tiny shovel. Pull up the stalk right out of the soil with almost no effort. Then loosen the soil where you want to start more cannas and stick the stalk down in the loosened soil. Since its raining, no need to water them. Never fertilized them. They just grow and grow until frost. Next spring, you have beautiful vibrant plants! Have many times shared cannas with neighbors and friends.

They grew all over the place there, tall and in a multitude of leaf colours. I have never seen them up here, perhaps it's too cold.

What a pretty picture of the sun shining through the leaves. That old concrete pot is very unique and charming. Your brown-eyed Susan's are lovely and an interesting flower. It's almost like they are cheerfully smiling at us. I thought that face looked familiar. Do you know I haven't seen the whole movie of A Christmas Carol, only parts of it? I really should watch the whole movie this Christmas. <br /><br />Enjoy your Canna plant as long as you can, Dewena.
