Cannaceae
This Canna is a large green leaf with dark red edge on the young leaf. As it matures it becomes all green. The flower is dark red bud opening to deep orange flowers.
Canna (or Canna lily, although not a true lily) is a genus of nineteen species of flowering plants.[1][2][3] The closest living relations to cannas are the other plant families of the order Zingiberales, that is the gingers, bananas, marantas, heliconias, strelitzias, etc.[4] Canna is the only genus in the family Cannaceae. --Wikipedia
