Beautiful canna Lily @Mariam_86 what variety is it and how do you look after it?
Thanks @Elfer - unfortunately I don’t know the variety. I’m sure more knowledgeable people here will.
I bought it last summer for a few pounds from someone who said they hadn’t managed to get it to flower. I left it in a pot outside over winter (I’m in London) covered with bark chips. I heard on GW that it needs tomato feed so I’ve been feeding it weekly with that, and now it’s flowered. I was growing it for the foliage but the flowers are a bonus and really striking. Today, the flower became two!

Here are some other beds, made in the last year.
Inula that was already here, front garden.
New clematis, Super Nova
For Your Eyes Only, rose which a friend gave me for a house warming present 2 1/2 years ago.
@Busy-Lizzie You hosta has grown a lot in 2 years.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@Elfer, I didn't dig up everything! That hosta was already there, but buried under weeds.
That rose, @Dovefromabove, was a present from a friend who I met on this forum, years ago.
