Canna Lilies

Canna lilies are a tad bit late to grow here in my garden this year.   Their leaves are not fully formed until mid-summer, and the flowers were at their best in early April.  Actually they are tropical plants, enjoying their flowers in late Autumn like now is rare.
  
This morning I found one tiny red Canna flower has bloomed and it really was a delight to have such a pretty flower again along with geraniums. We had an orange one a month ago and I thought it's last flower we might enjoy before Winter.  I will do some frost cover be installed in their locations as I'd hate to lose such a beautiful thing.
