English term or phrase: tightly wrapped canna lilies, banks of lamb's ear
"the garden was polished and composed, birds of paradise and tightly wrapped canna lilies, banks of lamb's ear and emerald fern."
The Latin term for lamb's ears seems to be Stachys byzantina, but for canna's lily I only found genus canna
joscelyne
Brazil
Clarification request(s) and response
dcarre: 6:41pm Jun 28, 2004: Could it be that there is a typo here? I found "Calla Lily" in the Dictionary of Botanical Names. -
joscelyne (asker): 10:23pm Jun 28, 2004: definitely no typo mistake. I have found canna lilly in the New SOED. The translation could be bananeirinha ou caité, but since I know nothing about flowers it is difficult to know. Thanks, anyhow.
