Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily: Tropical Impact, Effortless Color
Looking to turn up the heat in your landscape? The Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily delivers bold red blooms and dramatic form without demanding care. With vibrant flowers rising above lush foliage, this tropical-style perennial brings rich color and visual energy to containers, borders, and garden beds.
From the first warm weeks of summer through the crisp days of fall, this canna lily keeps blooming—and thriving. It’s the kind of plant that makes a statement without requiring constant attention, making it a favorite for homeowners and garden designers alike.
Plant Highlights: What Makes the Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily Stand Out
- Fire-Red Flowers: Vivid scarlet blooms with a soft, velvety texture sit high above the foliage, drawing in pollinators and attention alike.
- Lush Tropical Look: Large, paddle-shaped leaves in a deep green hue provide the perfect backdrop for the blooms—creating a high-contrast, high-impact effect.
- Nonstop Blooms: This variety delivers a long blooming window from early summer into the cooler days of fall, giving your landscape continued vibrancy.
- Upright Habit: The vertical growth adds structure to garden beds and makes it perfect for anchoring mixed container arrangements.
- Critter-Resistant: Naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, giving you peace of mind and long-lasting beauty in your yard.
Why It Belongs in Your Garden
- Instant Focal Point: With its tall stature (typically 24–36 inches), vibrant flowers, and dense foliage, this canna lily commands attention whether used solo or in mass plantings.
- Low Effort, High Reward: This is a plant you can count on—even if you're new to gardening. Once planted, it takes off with minimal guidance.
- Perfect for Patio Decor: Add one or two to a container on your deck or balcony for a tropical flair that’s visible from inside the house.
- Pollinator Friendly: Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, adding movement and life to your outdoor space.
- Design-Friendly Structure: Use it to add height at the back of a border, or plant in the center of a container as your "thriller" in a thriller-filler-spiller combo.
Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily is a great choice for wet areas!
- Moisture-Loving: Cannas naturally thrive in moist, even soggy soil conditions. In fact, they are often planted around ponds, water gardens, and other wet spots because they handle excess moisture better than most perennials.
- Resilient Roots: Their thick rhizomes are adapted to wetter environments and won't easily rot, provided the area isn't completely submerged for long periods.
- Improved Growth: In consistently damp soil, Cannas like Toucan® Scarlet often grow fuller, taller, and produce more blooms compared to being in dry soils.
Quick Tip: They don't like standing water for extended periods (like swampy conditions), but anywhere that's wet to consistently moist is ideal.
Design Ideas & Companion Suggestions
- Tropical Border Combo: Pair with elephant ears, caladiums, or hibiscus for a full-on lush, tropical look.
- Bold Container Feature: Combine with lime green coleus, trailing sweet potato vine, or golden creeping Jenny for a colorful container with contrast.
- Poolside Planting: Line garden beds around patios or pools to create a resort-like atmosphere with movement, color, and height.
- Cut Flower Appeal: Use the blooms in tropical-inspired floral arrangements for a unique, garden-to-vase centerpiece.

A beautifully crafted invitation to journal
Format: Paperback
Lilias Trotter Legacy’s latest book Beholdings is not so much a text as it is a beautifully crafted invitation. Inspired by the journals and sketches of Lilias Trotter (1853-1928—English missionary to Algeria, artist, writer, and journaler par excellence), biographer Miriam Rockness invites the reader to try their own hand at journaling, using Trotter as a model and guide. Rockness herself is no stranger to journaling, and her Preface to Beholdings enumerates the many benefits that await any reader who is willing to commit to the discipline for a period of time.
In the short term, Rockness describes how journaling encourages one to focus, to pay attention, to take the time to behold the beauty in the world before one’s very eyes. Each page following the Preface includes a quote designed to stir the imagination, and an image from Trotter’s journals to illustrate what it means to behold an acorn, a flower petal, a sunrise in the Algerian desert. It is not just to see what is before one’s eyes, but to hold it in the mind’s eye and cherish it. As Simone Weil said, “Attention, taken to its highest degree, is the same thing as prayer. It presupposes faith and love.” It is this kind of attention that Rockness encourages the journaler to cultivate, and it is the kind of attention that Lilias Trotter so artfully illustrates. There is ample space on each page for the journaler, thus inspired, to record his or her observations, musings, sketches, or doodles.
In the longer term, Rockness suggests that journaling helps cultivate a sense of proportion and perspective. She describes looking back with her husband over her journals from years before, reliving the moments that might otherwise have been forgotten, and allowing those glimpses in the rear view mirror to inform present day experience. Sometimes one finds that images seen in the rear view mirror really are smaller than they appeared at the time!
In addition to being an incitement to journaling, Beholdings is a beautifully produced creation in its own right. Great thought has gone into the selection of the typeface, the texture and feel of the paper, the quality of the images reproduced. This makes Beholdings not only a delight to own, but also an exquisite gift to offer. My advice: buy one for yourself, and another for someone you love.

Be clear that it's a blank journal you create, with brief quotes and thumbnail art
Format: Paperback
If one is looking for a personal journal of empty lined pages ~ and a brief Lilias Trotter quote with a thumbnail-size photo of her art on each page then this is for you. I understood it was a book of her journalling with more viewable-size sketches.

When and where economics went wrong
Format: Paperback
This is one of those books that can provide an epiphany to the reader -- but not very many American readers have even heard of it, unfortunately. That could be due to it's being a book primarily about English economic history, with assumptions that the reader is familiar to some extent with things like the Poor Laws and Tory socialism. But I wasn't, and was still able to glean some great insights from the work. That could be because Polanyi is not afraid of repetition. :-)
A key insight, and the one that could be summed up as the theme of the book, is Polanyi's realization that prior to about 1830, the market and the economy were considered part of society. That is, economic activity was something that people did along with everything else they did, like engage in social/familial relationships, religious rituals, etc. But with the 1830s came a paradigm shift: the advent of rational capitalism. Now, the market was considered an entity by itself, outside of society. This market entity was viewed as governed by universal laws. Like laws of physics, these market laws were independent of culture, independent of social group, independent of time period, and, in fact, independent of human behavior. While any observer of human nature would say that people often make decisions for emotional reasons -- and modern neurological research shows that virtually every decision we make is a combination of the rational and the emotional -- these market laws assumed only rational behavior on the part of economic actors.
Though Polanyi doesn't mention it, it's now easy to see how Alfred Marshall could get carried away with creating a mathematical foundation for microeconomics and how Leon Walras could, reportedly, say that if something couldn't be studied mathematically, it wasn't worth studying. There's no current way to model emotions with math, and so the Ricardian prototype of an emotion-less economics continues into the modern economics of today.
These universal market laws frees the market from any social constraints. A number of modern neo-classical economists assert that this makes economics purely amoral, i.e., without regard for any ethics. Therefore any attempts by the public, by politicians, or by workers to add ethics to the market is an interference with pure market workings, which, according to their interpretation of Adam Smith's "invisible hand", will produce optimal results if just left alone. But Smith never said that, and in fact rational capitalism, in elevating greed and selfishness to the status of goals -- see the Ayn Rand work "The Virtue Of Selfishness" -- is, IMO, not amoral at all, but rather is a morality of its own.
Anyway, back to Polanyi's insights. Another key one is the concept of a "double movement" in 19th century England. Each move to create a purer market created an ad-hoc counter move. E.g., Ricardian free trade was faced with opposition from workers losing their jobs and local firms losing business Americans can easily think of another example: where the employment of children (eventually) led to laws restricting that employment, simply because human beings have too much of a sympathetic nature to sit still for children losing limbs in the dangerous factories and mines of the time. Polanyi notes that capitalists often blame these anti-capitalist laws on planned activity by socialist anti-market groups, but he says they're actually the result of the recognition by the general public that they don't want to live under a pure market system.
Yet another good insight is Polanyi's recognition that market laws treat labor, land, and money as commodities. We can see that today, where neo-classical economists assert that the law of supply and demand should apply to workers as it applies to anything else in the economy. That is, if there's a surplus of workers in one area and a shortage in another, supply and demand dictates the flow of workers from the one area to the other. But a laid-off textile worker in South Carolina is not going to move to China for a job. That's my own example, but Polanyi offers his own from modern English history.
The book isn't perfect. Polanyi does have a tendency to generalize, a common failing among authors, IMO. E.g., in discussing the rise of fascism in the 1930s, he's on very shaky ground when he starts talking about the US or about Russian policy intentions during that period.
I gave The Great Transformation 5 stars because, even with its faults, the reader will be thinking about Polanyi's insights for some time to come. I am.

Not light reading but worth it
Format: Kindle
Much of this book was heavy reading for me, mainly due my not being familiar with the background development and history of various economic theory and associated laws over 500 or so years of British history. I did stick it out and am glad I did. There are many insights as to how we have arrived at today and the book is still relevant even though it was written in 1942. I found the last few chapters and the comments in Sources to offer the most explanations to fit modern times especially with regard to the rise of fascism. Thick but worth it.
