Description

Canna or Canna Lily, a member of the family Cannaceae, has large foliage, and is easy to grow in much of the world. Canna plants are perennials with a rhizomatous root. The flower is made up by three sepals and three petals with hidden stamens. They are usually orange, red, or yellow and attract bees, hummingbirds, and sunbirds to their pollen and nectars. While wild species may grow as much as 10 feet, cultivars are usually shorter. Canna ‘Cannova Yellow”, a hybrid with scientific name Canna x generalis, is a particular variety with brilliant spikes of yellow flowers that blooms from spring to first frost, with full-looking plants. They grow to a height of 20 inches and attract many butterflies and hummingbirds.

This beautiful Canna ‘Cannova Yellow’ flower at Cheekwood Botanical Garden in Nashville, Tennessee was photographed on 7-7-2022. I used a Nikon D850 camera body and a Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR telephoto lens to capture this image. Settings: 1/1600 sec, f/5.6, ISO 360. Cheekwood is a 55-acre public botanical garden established in 1960 and located on a historic estate, comprised of 13 individual gardens.
