Thanks David that explains this statement from a US website
"This Curt Wallace hybrid is still regarded as the closest to white
(as judged by a team of color-blind nurserymen) that is available in
the canna family"
So it sounds like caveat emptor on eBay offerings of pure white cannas
at $5000:-)

Come on Rupert, never say never. You could set up a breeding programme and
eventually make a killing!

These people list one the called 'Creamy White' but they admit it's pale
yellow really.

It's going to be easier for me to accept that scarlet and yellow cannas are
tasteful. A breeding programme sounds interesting. Can I assume you are my
first volunteer:-)
Any road, who needs flowers when you've got the fabulous foliage of C.
