Canna Lily Pretoria

The Canna Lily Pretoria flower are normally red, orange, or yellow or any mixture of those colors, and are amassed in inflorescences that are panicles or spikes. Although horticulturists enjoy these odd flowers, nature really envisioned them to appeal pollinators collecting nectar and pollen, such as sunbirds, hummingbirds, bees and bats. The fertilization mechanism is clearly specialized. Pollen is shed on the panache while still in the bud, and in the species and early crosses some is also found on the stigma because of the high point of the anther, which means that they are self-fertilizing. Later cultivars have a lower anther, and depend on on pollinators get off on the labellum and touching first the fatal stigma, and then the pollen.

Canna or canna lily is the single genus of flowering plants in the family Cannaceae, consisting of 10 types. Cannas are not real lilies, but have been allocated by the APG ll system of 2003 to the order Zingiberales in the monocot clade Commelinids, organized with their contiguous relatives, the birds of paradise, arrowroots, spiral gingers, bananas, gingers and heliconias.

 The plants have large vegetation and gardeners have advanced selected forms as large-flowered kitchen garden plants. Cannas are also used in farming as a rich source of arrowroot for human and animal ingesting.

Although plants of the tropics, most cultivars have been settled in moderate weathers and are informal to cultivate in most countries of the world as long as they obtain at least 6–8 hours ordinary sunlight during the summertime, and are moved to a warm location for the winter.

The plants are large steamy and subtropical recurrent herbs with a rhizomatous rootstock. The wide, horizontal, alternate leaves that are such a feature of these plants, grow out of a stalk in a long, narrow roll and then unfurl. The leaves are typically solid green, but some cultivars have glaucose, brownish, burgundy, or even multicolored leaves.
