What wondrous structural detail and color in something so small. The colors of the Cannas are not the usual bright colors I associate with the plant and they're subtler yet bright at the same time. I really am enjoying them.

Thanks for the input. I have another tiny orange flower that I will post later. It was blooming earlier but I don't see any flowers now although there are buds. That one also came with the bunch of wildflower seeds and I think it will be a real challenge to identify.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-52656212588839480042007-07-10T05:55:00.000-07:002007-07-10T05:55:00.000-07:00Looks like it.
