Long-awaited canna blooms in October
When I left for Edmonton in the second week of October, the canna in front of our door was finally budding.
Away from the coast and beyond the Rockies, the prairie city was far colder. On the patio of the Macdonald Hotel, the potted cannas had been blackened by a killing frost, though the petunias in the same containers lived on.
Back in Surrey later in the month, I found to my delight that the long awaited canna by our front door was in full bloom.
