Thanks Daniele, I'll do that.
This looks a bit different from any pictures I've seen on the web... Planning to do some more research on this, anyway.

Kyros, go with Patricia's suggestion. There are actually a lot of commercial canna lily hybrids out there, and also this is close to Cleopatra it may be another one. You are safe with Canna indica.

Thank you very much Patricia & Daniele!
But how can you have this knowledge available instantly in your mind??? It's scary!

Which of the two suggestions is more accurate though? I can't really tell by looking at the photos on the web...
