Canna 'Cleopatra' syn. Canna 'Yellow King Humbert', Canna 'Harlequin'

She’s definitely #yellow 💛 Still only one flower stem but who cares when it’s as beautiful as this! #canna #canna-cleopatra #exotic #containergarden #sunshine #mygardentoday 💚

That's all mine got too Barbara! What a diva Cleo is!🤣💘😍

Beautiful 💛🧡💛

It’s blowsy!

That's really beautiful 💛💛💛♥️

Cleopatra is definitely a #latebloomer in #mygardentoday but she was worth the wait! ❤️💛 #canna #canna-cleopatra #containergarden #redandyellow #exotic 💚

Morning Barbara ❤🧡💛🧡❤ Thats so beautiful 😍

Beautiful! Love the colours!

Morning Jason! I was beginning to think it would never flower but she’s doing a great job now. I can see at least two more buds so 🤞 that the promised warm spell will bring them out, too!! @hebelover 😘

It’s an amazing combination, Linda, and probably my favourite Canna! @rhododendronmad 😍

Amazing! She's wonderful ♥️♥️💛💛

Fantastic! One of my favorite cannas!💘😍

It would be my favourite too if I had one. 🧡

She’s finally beginning to show her gorgeous colours! ❤️💛 #canna #canna-cleopatra #exotic #containergarden #redandyellow #worththewait #mygardentoday 💚

Fabulous colours

Looks like she’s going to have fantastic colours💛❤️

Lovely colours ♥️💛

😍😍😍

Oh Cleopatra, how much longer do I have to wait? #canna #canna-cleopatra #canna-cleopatraflowerbud #exotic #containergarden #mygardentoday 💚

She's making you wait, like my Agapanthus did. But when she flowers it's so worth the wait 💕♥️

You can’t rush a megastar....they’re always fashionably late to the party 😉

🤔😴🙄

Everything comes to those who wait! I have a flower on my #canna or at least I will have soon!! #canna-cleopatra #canna-cleopatraflowerbud #containergarden #exotic #patiencerewarded #cantwait 💚

Beautiful 😍

Great news Barbara. 💕

It's a slow opener Barbara, still waiting for mine that I posted about a few days ago.... Drums fingers impatiently

Thanks for the heads up, Julie 🙏 At least I’ve recorded the date the first flower spike appeared so it will be interesting to see how long it takes to open. Let’s hope I see something by Christmas 🤣🤣 @vec 😘

Good news, pleased for you ♥️♥️

We have rain! It’s only a few drops so far but it’s wet. Cleopatra’s leaves have begun to wither in the heat but her flowers are still looking gorgeous 💛❤️ #canna #canna-cleopatra #containergarden #exotic #mygardentoday 💚

We had torrential rain yesterday with more forecast later. I'll send you some Barbara 💦

Please send lots, Jane. My garden is desperate! We haven’t had any decent rain for weeks 😢 @pelly

Lovely pic Barbara, we had quite a bit of rain in Hampshire yesterday so hopefully it will get to you at some point 🤞

We were the same until yesterday so I know how you feel 💦

Wow! That's beautiful Barbara ♥️♥️💛💛

The forecast was for rain all afternoon but since the very light shower this morning the sun has come out and there’s not a rain cloud in sight 😢 @lilybee @pelly 😘😘

It started here again about an hour ago 💦 I'm trying to blow it your way 😂

Thanks Jane 😘 I’ve had to put the sprinkler on in one area as the plants are almost dead 😢😢 @pelly

Hopefully they will revive and you will get rain soon 🤞

#foliagefriday Canna ‘Cleopatra’ is all leaf and no flower 😢 Luckily the leaves are quite attractive 🤣 #canna #canna-cleopatra #containergarden #mygardentoday 💚

Very unusual leaves. I have three this year and only the littlest one has flowers.

Very #unusual markings!

Def split this one next year with loads of feed you'll have loads of flowers 😆

It’s too wet to do any gardening so I’ve tidied Cleopatra’s foliage and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she’ll continue to flower indoors for another week or so. Look closely and you’ll see my grown-from-seed Jacaranda to her right. ❤️💚 #canna #canna-cleopatra #jacaranda #indoorplants #toowettogarden 25/11/2019

Beautiful 🤗

Lovely photo. I hope it lasts for you ,♥️♥️

I couldn’t bear to cut Cleopatra down when she still had a flower spike so I brought her inside and now she’s flowering! #canna #canna-cleopatra #containergarden #latebloomer 19/11/2019

What a beauty 🏵🏵

Beautiful ❤️

I’m hoping for an #explosion of #latecolour from Cleopatra! #canna #containergarden #wishfulthinking #mygardentoday 05/11/2019

I’m sure you’ll get one Barbara...I can’t wait...😮💥

Wow 🤩

She’s looking very healthy Barbara. Mine are all tucked up in the shed for winter

Did you cut them back first, Nicola? @jendren 🤔

I took them out of their pots, cut off the stems, cleaned off as much compost as I could. I’ve repotted some and am leaving others to dry. I did this last year and they all grew back. But I didn’t have great flowers this year. I think it was too wet here. Hoping for better next year Barbara @jacaranda

This is a great one to brighten up a corner. It will be stunning 😍😍

Thanks Nicola 👍 Mine haven’t been caught by frost yet so I’m leaving them in their pots for a bit longer. 😍

Oooh she's very nice and that colour!!😊😊❤❤

I will be so glad when today is over! Even Cleopatra looks sad and bedraggled 🙁 #canna #canna-cleopatra #thingscanonlygetbetter 24/09/2019

Been a soggy day ☹ but hope you are not sad about something more ?

One or two hiccups today but things will look brighter tomorrow, Charlotte 😘 @charlotte

That looks massive Barbara. Yes it's been a really awful rainy day ❤❤

Hope things are looking brighter today Barbara?

The weather is still miserable and the garden is looking soggy and autumnal, Vivien, but I’m trying to see the positives in life. Not always easy! @sadieberg 😘

Keep your pecker up 🤗

Thanks. Your kind words have cheered me up no end 😘 I hope you have a lovely day @sadieberg

I spy with my little eye........another flower spike on Cleopatra! #canna #canna-cleopatra #containergarden #mygardentoday 21/09/2019

How exciting Barbara...

She’s still standing but we have high winds to come so I might have to move her to a place of safety! #droplets #canna #canna-cleopatra #containergarden #mygardentoday 09/08/2019

Cleopatra, I think you are going to be stunning! 💛❤️ #canna #canna-cleopatra #containergarden #mygardentoday 27/07/2019

Afternoon Barbara @jacaranda I agree with you there looks Stunning already 😍😘

That’s so gorgeous Barbara. Definitely one for my wishlist 😘😘

Sooo many buds too!! Great👍🏻😊💕

Gardening always has its ups and downs! My down was the leaves falling off my mimosa but this flower spike on my new canna is a definite up!!! It’s a really healthy plant with great leaf markings and I can’t wait to see what colour the flower will be. Watch this space! #canna #canna-cleopatra #containergarden #firstflower #mygardentoday 21/07/2019

That looks fab Barbara. You’re beating me now. I think mine need some sun. We’ve had atrocious weather these last few weeks.

Theres gorgeousness everywhere in that picture.

Wow that's a beauty 😍
