Canna Petal

Looking close... on Friday!

One single Petal.

 

Canna plants are large tropical and subtropical perennial herbs with broad flat leaves that grow out of a stem in a long narrow roll and then unfurl. The flowers are typically red, orange, or yellow or any combination of those colors. The wild species often grow to 2-3 meters but there is a wide variation in size among cultivated plants. The leaves are typically solid green but some cultivars have brownish, maroon, or even variegated leaves. The canna flowers attract hummingbirds. All cannas are native to the New World, although some species are cultivated and naturalized in other tropical regions.

Did you know: Canna is grown for human consumption in the Andes and also in Vietnam and southern China, where the starch is used to make cellophane noodles. theflowerexpert.com
