Title: Gardening....
Post by: PaunchyBald on August 01, 2007, 10:45:42 AM
so I have this thing about growing Canna's.  Not Cannabis you facking morans! [sm_devil]  Although, back in the day...............................

I just love watching the hummingbirds flitting about from blossom to blossom.  I've even begun branching oot (for our Canadian friends) to the exotics.  Bronze leaves, double blossoms, yellow and orange blossoms.

Granted that most of you think (not really,... you know) that I'm strange, do any of the rest of you grow these?  Are you willing to share corms/tubers?

Ya never know til you ask. ;D

I had to look up what canna looks like. [sm_anon]
Sadly, the closest thing to gardening that I do is pick tomatoes that my wife plants.

Cool colors. [sm_thumbsup2]

That and the foliage gives a garden a very tropical feel. :)

I have grown cannas in the past, but, unfortunately, they're pretty aggressive here, so they require special care to keep them in check.  They're gorgeous, but I can't keep up with them, so I no longer grow them. 

For some reason, they always did so badly in pots, but grew out of control in the ground for me.

Any pics of some of your favorites?

Dude, your lucky (well, maybe not)  I've learned to post on an internet forum! ;D  I can't even get pictures to print from my *goshdarn* computer.  Technology really kicks my azz! [sm_disgust]
