Canna, bananas and prayer plants were originally included in the same family
with the gingers.

Canna are actually closely allied to the Gingers and not at all to true
Lilies.

Close relatives of the bananna, too?

Indeed, Canna lily. Thank you for the ID! Definitely will use some
in
next year's annual beds.

Great plant, lots of color and drama with little effort or expense.
For
the
record, it is just a canna, not a canna lily although many people call
it
that. This is a good source for cannas: http://www.cannas.net/
