Okay, so I'm obsessed with these amazing canna lilies at every stage of their growth and development. Another twisted leaf bud, set in a perfectly arrayed nest of leaves with its shadow observing its growth. The other, a flower bud, no twists on this part of the plant, growing 6 inches a day, hiding the colorful contents of its huge and showy bloom that will one day unfurl and reveal itself. One of Nature's miracles. Awesome, isn't it? -- Elaine Adler (Lexington, MA)
