IRIS is a flowering plant that has been commonly confused with the lily. ... Instead of being related to the lily, the iris is a member of a quite different family. www.flowers-cs.com/iris.html - Checking with google it seems they are definitely different families.
Whoops sorry it has published today as rather a large photo!
ReplyDeleteI love canna's, they used to grow like weeds in the garden when I lived in Zimbabwe. Have not tried growing them here. Diane
