Thanks folks for the comments on my photo and for the sympathy regarding yesterday's troubles. I was hoping my aches and pains would quickly subside, and that's how it's going - I'm about 80% back to whatever is normal for me.
About the flower: my neighborhood has at least one variety of Canna blossoms, and they look nothing like the photo I posted. MFI, you posted two photos of what it might be. The spike in my photo is very long and growing horizontally about 3.5 feet above the ground, so it more closely resembles your first example.
Nice photos, damar and MFI, and Hi Lorell.
Natalie, you wrote about getting old; I have a feeling that I'm a few years ahead of you on that.
I'm low on red pepper flakes so yesterday I minced as finely as I could a jalapeno and a few habaneros then slowly (took about 6 hours) dehydrated them in an over set to its lowest temp. This morning I crushed the small pieces even smaller, browned some plain diced potatoes and cooked a couple of eggs, topping both with a seasoning blend grabbed at random, some hot salsa, and sliced scallions, plus a cautiously small sprinkle of the dried hot pepper bits. It was a very tasty light breakfast. Now I'm watching football and looking forward to my lunch: a burger topped with a pub cheese of extra sharp cheddar and horseradish, some hearty Bush's Grillin' Beans, and two bacon wrapped cheese-filled jalapeno halves.
I hope you all are having a good weekend.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
