Canna (plant)
''Canna'' or canna lily is the only genus of flowering plants in the family Cannaceae, consisting of 10 species.The Cannaceae of the World, H. Maas-van der Kamer & P.J.M. Maas, BLUMEA 53: 247-318 Cannas are not true lilies, but have been assigned by the APG II system of 2003 to the order Zingiberales in the monocot clade Commelinids, together with their closest relatives, the gingers, spiral gingers, bananas, arrowroots, heliconias, and birds of paradise. The plants have large foliage, so horticulturists have developed selected forms as large-flowered garden plants. Cannas are also used in agriculture as a source of starch for human and animal consumption. Khoshoo, T.N. & Guha, I. - Origin and Evolution of Cultivated Cannas.

Pierre-Antoine-Marie Crozy
Pierre Antoine Marie Crozy (1831-1903) lso called Crozy aîné—French for "elder"was a nineteenth-century French rose breeder. He was a partner in the French firm, Avoux & Crozy, La Guillotière, Lyon, actively breeding roses from the 1850s to 1860s. From the early 1860s until his death in 1903 he was also hybridising '' Canna'' species, and introduced many hundreds of new cultivars. The largest Canna Group today is still called the ''Crozy Group'', and many of those cultivars are still being raised. The most famous of the cultivars introduced by Crozy was Canna 'Madame Crozy', and this was later used by both Carl Sprenger in Italy and Luther Burbank in California to cross with the species Canna ''flaccida'' to produce the first of the Italian Group Cannas. Crozy was succeeded by his son, Michel Crozy (1871-1908).

Royal Horticultural Society
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), founded in 1804 as the Horticultural Society of London, is the UK's leading gardening charity. The RHS promotes horticulture through its five gardens at Wisley (Surrey), Hyde Hall (Essex), Harlow Carr (North Yorkshire), Rosemoor (Devon) and Bridgewater (Greater Manchester); flower shows including the Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, Tatton Park Flower Show and Cardiff Flower Show; community gardening schemes; Britain in Bloom and a vast educational programme. It also supports training for professional and amateur gardeners. the president was Keith Weed and the director general was Sue Biggs CBE. History Founders The creation of a British horticultural society was suggested by John Wedgwood (son of Josiah Wedgwood) in 1800. His aims were fairly modest: he wanted to hold regular meetings, allowing the society's members the opportunity to present papers on their horticultural activities and discoveries, to enc ...

Award Of Garden Merit
The Award of Garden Merit (AGM) is a long-established annual award for plants by the British Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). It is based on assessment of the plants' performance under UK growing conditions. History The Award of Garden Merit is a mark of quality awarded, since 1922, to garden plants (including trees, vegetables and decorative plants) by the United Kingdom, Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Awards are made annually after plant trials intended to judge the plants' performance under UK growing conditions. Trials may last for one or more years, depending on the type of plant being analyzed, and may be performed at Royal Horticulture Society Garden in Wisley and other gardens or after observation of plants in specialist collections. Trial reports are made available as booklets and on the website. Awards are reviewed annually in case plants have become unavailable horticulturally, or have been superseded by better cultivars. Similar awards The award should not be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
USDA
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the federal executive department responsible for developing and executing federal laws related to farming, forestry, rural economic development, and food. It aims to meet the needs of commercial farming and livestock food production, promotes agricultural trade and production, works to assure food safety, protects natural resources, fosters rural communities and works to end hunger in the United States and internationally. It is headed by the Secretary of Agriculture, who reports directly to the President of the United States and is a member of the president's Cabinet. The current secretary is Tom Vilsack, who has served since February 24, 2021. Approximately 80% of the USDA's $141 billion budget goes to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) program. The largest component of the FNS budget is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as the Food Stamp program), which is the cornerstone of USDA's ...

List Of Canna Species
''Canna (plant), Canna'' species have been categorised by two different taxonomists in the course of the last three decades. They are Paulus Johannes Maria Maas, Paul Maas, from the Netherlands and Nobuyuki Tanaka from Japan.Tanaka, N. (2001) Taxonomic revision of the family Cannaceae in the New World and Asia. Both reduced the number of species from the 50-100 that had been accepted previously, and assigned most to being synonym (taxonomy), synonyms. Inevitably, there are some differences in their categorisations, and the individual articles on the species describe the differences. The reduction in the number of species is also confirmed by work done by Kress and Prince at the Smithsonian Institution, however, this only covers a subset of the species range.Prince, Linda M.* and W. John Kress. Smithsonian Institution Tanaka's 2001 ''Taxonomic revision of the family Cannaceae in the New World and Asia'' is one source of species names, allied with the proposal to conserve the name ...

Canna (Plant) Gallery
This list of ''Canna'' cultivars is a gallery of named cultivars of plants in the genus '' Canna'' that are representative of the various ''Canna'' cultivar groups (i.e., groups of very similar cultivars). Names of cultivars conform to the rules of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) Commission for Nomenclature and Cultivar Registration, as laid down in the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants. They are registered with an International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA), which for the genus ''Canna'' is the Royal General Bulbgrowers' Association of the Netherlands (KAVB). Foliage group Cultivars, F1 and F2 hybrids, normally with small species-like flowers, but grown principally for their foliage. This group has occasionally been referred to as the Année Group, after the originator, Théodore Année, the world's first ''Canna'' hybridizer. However, the use of an accented character in the name creates problems, both in pronunciatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Canna Hybridists
The first hybridisation of Cannas was performed in 1848, and since then many Canna hybridizers have made their contribution to the genus over the centuries. This is a date ordered list of those people and their brief stories. 1848 Théodore Année A retired French diplomatic agent in America, the gentleman gardener Monsieur Théodore Année of Passy, France, brought back from his travels the seeds of several Canna species, and in 1848 he crossed C. ''glauca'' with C. ''indica'', so producing the first known and recorded Canna hybrid, C. x ''annaei'' André, now referred to as C. 'Annei'. Année was rapidly joined by many other enthusiasts and professional horticulturists as Canna hybrids enjoyed rapid popularity in France. In 1866 he retired to Nice, France, and from there released his last recorded cultivar, C. 'Prémices de Nice'. 1850s Jean Liabaud A resident of Lyon, France. 1850s E. Chaté et fils A resident of Paris, France. 1860s Jean Sisley A resident of Lyon, France. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
