CANNA //VERY COMMON BUT MESMERISING FLOWER

                           CANNA //VERY COMMON BUT MESMERISING FLOWER

We were mesmerised by this flower at CSI Christ Church, Palayam, Trivandrum

When we requested the gardener Roy for a seedling, he was gracious enough to provide us one.

It flourished in our garden. There were several varieties of the plant in front of our house. 

It was beautiful when they flowered.

But they were crowded

However when we lost our Dachshund through Krait bite we engaged our worker Babu to partially take out a few of the plants to open up the space.

Babu had no inhibitions. He had no finer feelings. He uprooted everything in the garden so that the the garden was devoid of the Canna Plant.

We felt sad. especially, Lila, who was instrumental in the obtention of the original Canna revolution.

But one shoot had somehow escaped Babu's ravages.

It sprouted. 

And here we are with Canna flower once again
