I've always had Cannas in my garden, always. My love for them has waxed and waned, but they've always been here. That is until this year. If you're just tuning in our winter was nasty. Cold, ice snow, ice, cold, snow, rain, rain, rain...on and on and on. Every single Canna up and froze or rotted, that is except this one. I believe it's Canna 'Durban', and it's living next to one of the only Phormium left standing in NE Portland and that crazy bit of Zone 10 Passiflora 'Sunburst' that keeps reappearing year after year. In other words a nice little warm spot in my garden. It's stunning presence has reminded me of just how much I miss those big dramatic leaves. Next summer I will plant more Cannas...
