Hi folks! I discovered a great resource (courtesy of Margaret Roach of' A Way to Garden'): http://www.theplantlist.org/ It is a compendium of...
Wait...that was a year ago. I guess we in the North are really starved for spring!
MG--I love the look of your compost piles. Is that crazy or what? We need Waretrop here to make a spoof of my comment! Anyway, my community...

2ofus, That's great! I hope you enjoy them! Cannas get pretty big, so the bigger the better in terms of pot size. I would get a lightweight pot...
2ofus: I am in New England, zone 6a, so a bit warmer than you. I try to start my cannas indoors by April. If I don't, I won't get blossoms...
