When I first saw these flowers (Canna) in the neighborhood, it reminded me of a bird, although there is no resemblance. But while reading about the flower, I found that it attracts hummingbirds. Maybe I subconsciously associated the flower with the birds because of some scene I saw in a photo or TV. It is a tropical flower, and it also grows in my city, where the difference in temperatures in summer and winter can be more than 60 degrees. Someone seems to take very good care of this canna.
There is a lot of interesting information about this flower:
- The seeds are used as beads in jewelry.
- Smoke from the burning leaves is insecticidal.
- The plant yields a fiber from the stem, which is used as a jute substitute.

The photos were taken with a small 35mm macro lens. What attracted me were the colors, especially the fruit!
