The walking tour brochure I picked up on my previous visit mentions the "iconic cannas" that the greenhouse superintendents and groundskeepers who lived in the J.V. Bailey House would take care of. I was intrigued to know what this iconic plant looks like. I googled it and realized I've been looking at it for all these years without realizing what it is and that it's a tropical plant that must grow year round in warmer climates. They must get them going in the greenhouse over the winter and then move them outside in the spring so they're nice and big when the fair opens in late August.
