I notice that the Tiki Torch has purple near the flowers. I cannot see any purple on any of our cannas. I was asking because I was wondering whether anyone could identify whether it's an edible one or just an ornamental hybrid. Appearantly, the rhizome of C. indica / C. edulis is full of arrowroot-like starch. I guess that there are _lots_ of different Canna hybrids around, which makes it hard to tell exactly what type of Canna it is.
