Excited to see what it will become, any ideas?
It's a Canna
I think it's strelitzia. Leaves like a banaplant, orange flowers shaped like a bird beak.
It's origin is South Africa
Thanks so much, after looking at the pictures it is definitely Canna.
Och! I canna' believe it!
I'll get my coat...
Hmmm.... is that tea or beer you're drinking?
Try. hope you send a photo when it flowers.
Troyak,
Please place a pic when it's flowering cause I'am still not convinced it's a canna.
I am convinced it's a canna.
Strelitzias have somewhat similar leaves, but the shape of the plants is different compared to cannas.
Strelitzias have the leaves all come out from the bottom of the plant, while in a canna they seem to get higher up after each set of leaves.
Strelitzia leaves tend to come from the base of the plant on long stems. I think its a canna. Canna leaves sort of wrap around the stem.
Yep, that's what I meant to say!
It's not easy being Dutch on a British forum.
