		We have shown Canna 'Ra' before, but here it is paired with a flower of almost identical color--Allamanda cathartica--in a corner of the Water Lily House.The latter was named after Dr. Allamand of Leyden who sent seeds to Linnaeus.
		Victoria cruziana has smaller leaves with taller edges than Victoria amazonica--but they are quite similar.
