I had to share my Canna Lilies which I got from Barbara Armitage the last of March.

They didn't get planted till around the latter part of April or first of May.

I planted them on the West side of the chicken pen to shade the chickens from the afternoon sun.



They have done a great job.

The fence is five feet tall and they are way above the fence. I planted some more a couple of months ago and they are starting to grow also.

I also planted some Morning Glories and all they have done is make great big leaves and no flowers. The leaves have changed shape three times on the Morning Glories. - Maury E. Lewis

Canna Lilies at Beautiful Joppa



2012-09-02 - Beautiful Joppa, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Maury E. Lewis. The Canna Lilies Maury Lewis planted in late April/early May have grown high above the 5 ft. fence around her chickens, who are now much happier being shaded from the afternoon sun by the beautiful plants. Maury Lewis got the Canna Bulbs from Adair County Garden Club friend Barbara Armitage.
