“Despite its name, indian shot (Canna indica) is a flowering perennial plant native to Central and South America. It has been naturalized in other parts of the world and became a popular garden plant for its large decorative leaves, fiery red blooms, and the ease of cultivation. It is a traditional minor food crop for indigenous peoples of the Americas.”
i am a little disappointed that no one has taken a stab at guessing, via any comment on any of my posts from the past few days/daze, my currently undisclosed locale of residency…
however, nothing can get this happy-ass man down-in-the-dumps, and i am in-joy over the prospects of providing more clues, for the few with eyes 👀 to see, and wonder, as i wander, where i may be!
so, unfortunately, for those who are not playing along, and are wondering on what area of this amazing-natural-plane-of-existence i captured the image of this gorgeous food plant’s flower…
i am not providing that data, in order to keep up the suspense and unofficial contest of guessing, exactly where this photo was taken today and, attilio-cesare’s current residency…
“Name Story:
Indian shot
Canna indica produces black spherical seeds that are hard and dense in nature which sink in water. In fact, its appearance looks like a bullet from a rifle. Interestingly, during the war in India in the 19th century, there were soldiers actually reloading the seeds as a substitute when they were out of ammo. Hence, it is called the Indian shot.”
“Interesting Facts:
The indian shot has lush leaves and bright flowers. It has a long flowering period, blooming in the hot season with a few flowers that greatly enrich the color and transform the landscape for a season. They make the landscape outline clear, beautiful and natural. Although its leaves are vulnerable, new leaves grow again after being injured, and they soon resume their growth. They not only beautify people’s lives, but also absorb harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride and carbon dioxide. It is an ideal flower for greening, beautifying and purifying the environment.”
“Symbolism
A solid future, trust in God!”
