Steve F Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi, I'm having some trouble identifying some flowers in a botanical garden that weren't labelled. Any advice on species or common name would be much appreciated! The next one is presumably some sort of hybrid of the red one above: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly Coral Bells??? Lower one again maybe a heuchera, though the leaf looks more hosta to me. Where's John Richmond when you need him??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhandol Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The bottom two are Canna. Used to grow the orange flowered one in my garden. Parm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 #1 is one of the cultivated varieties of Gazania. Lots of seed strains of these so I couldn't narrow it down further. #2 and #3 are both Cannas. The dark leaved one looks a lot like 'Wyoming' but there are other similar cultivars. #3 is 'Yellow King Humbert', an old but very distinctive variety with variable amounts of variegation on both foliage and flowers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
