That way you can pretend they are ALL cardinals. <br />I'm so sorry she bought such tall cannas. <br />Hey, just think, it could have been orange cannas! <br />Ugh!<br />David/:0)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495040805660192347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-17573982043804697892012-06-30T22:26:45.997-05:002012-06-30T22:26:45.997-05:00I love the vine idea - maybe it will reach down an...I love the vine idea - maybe it will reach down and just strangle those offensive red-hot cannas!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-43108180799286881942012-06-30T19:44:19.569-05:002012-06-30T19:44:19.569-05:00I am so with you!

You train your eye not to notice the red blooms and focus on something pleasing to you. You don't see them, so for you, they're 'not there'.<br />My former neighbor used to grow the most lush poison ivy on our mutual fence, and I am highly allergic. ER trips are such fun!<br />As for Cannas, I like the leaves but don't care for the blooms, so I cut them off. Maybe your neighbor grows his primarily for the leaves?sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-67407710308821103072012-06-29T12:27:56.494-05:002012-06-29T12:27:56.494-05:00I like Kathy's idea.

Then a tall vine, maybe Wisteria like Leslie suggested. I'm partial to Clematis and there are some lovely ones that get huge.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-63988368941420122992012-06-29T12:01:43.345-05:002012-06-29T12:01:43.345-05:00Maybe you should just give him a bunch of cannas t...Maybe you should just give him a bunch of cannas that do coordinate with your garden. He probably just picked something off the shelf and doesn't care that much. And how do you know he won't plant something else next year? Oh, wait, cannas are perennial in your neck of the woods, aren't they? I'm lucky if mine bloom before frost.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-55503846463261531962012-06-29T09:28:29.336-05:002012-06-29T09:28:29.336-05:00Well, until you can plant something to scamper ove...Well, until you can plant something to scamper over the fence and hide the cannas, perhaps you can just meditate on accepting imperfection in nature and life.Robin Ripleyhttp://bumblebeeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-39875342315373689032012-06-29T09:18:12.597-05:002012-06-29T09:18:12.597-05:00They look like they are peeking over on purpose. ...They look like they are peeking over on purpose.
