I'm a Fan a Canna
Beauty and so much more. From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canna_(plant)#Uses :
The Canna plant's young shoots, young seeds and starchy roots are edible, and the latter can be fermented to make alcoholic drinks. Mature seeds make nice, durable jewelry beads or a purple dye. Old, dead stalks can be used to make paper. Stalk fibers can be woven into rough, jute-like fabrics. Smoke from burning its leaves is an insecticide. No wonder the Thai people give Canna plants to their dads on Father's Day. Most dads like multi-use things. Location: Our back terrace, Riehen BS Switzerland.
Photo stuff: I challenged myself to create a bright sunlight, high-contrast image without blown highlights. Result comes pretty close. Before editing, the highlights in the RAW file looked blown.
In my album: Dan's Flower Power.
