Canna bulbs

My canna’s are growing so wellll
But I am concerned about some brown spots. Though they are growing strong should I buy something to help with it?

What can I do here to prevent all this dirt from continually getting washed out if it rains heavy? I don’t have any before pictures but we just put in the mulch and lambs ear plants with canna bulbs behind it and put in those landscaping pavers.
I had filled in this area with a truck load of dirt and smoothed it out it and pounded it down some but not solidly enough. What can I put in besides dirt to prevent the run off? We want to put flat pavers down leading past the fence and into our backyard and put some rocks around them but before doing so I’d appreciate any recommendations so that this doesn’t keep happening when it rains heavy and keeps getting washed/rutted out

I repotted my bulb and watered it and now it’s coming back in :D after a month or so ???

I stupidly broke up my canna lily clumps last year because I didn’t do any research first on how to dig them up and store them. I was shocked at how large the clump of bulbs was and thought no way I just store this whole thing lol so I broke it up into parts but don’t know if they even look useable?

I bought some canna bulbs from Walmart just for fun to see if I have some type of gardening skills. I planted them in their own pot, So after a month or so I finally saw one of them sprouting and out of pure excitement I started repotting the bulb since I planted it sideways (I couldn’t find the “eye”). While putting the soil in the pot my shovel hit it and part of it snapped off!! The roots and everything is still perfectly fine but the stem that was making its way through the soil is what came off.
Will it be fine ?

I have some canna rhizomes in the pots above, thinking of putting a few butterfly bushes between them and the house.
In front of the collapsing retaining wall (that's its own job) I have a row of Lucifer bulbs planted, and I'm thinking of putting assorted perennials to bloom throughout the spring/summefall inn the middle with purple phlox in front.
Would love some feedback.
Zone 7a, mostly rocky clay soil.

I plan to surprise my mom this year by planting seeds and bulbs indoors early and them bringing them over after the last frost day, in 6-8 weeks. It would allow her to cut some of them and keep bouquets in her house! Whatever she doesn’t like/ can’t keep, I’ll keep for myself/ bring cut stems over when then bloom.
And don’t worry, I’m the one who always comes over to do most of the heavy lifting in her garden (tilling, mixing soil, adding compost, planting, watering) since it’s too physically demanding for her nowadays, however much she loves her garden and flowers.
Now here’s the problem: I have zero colour awareness! I’m always in awe of florists and can’t seem to make sense of it all till I see the final product 😅 My mom is amazing at it so I’d like to provide her a wide variety to plant/choose from.
I’d really appreciate any help/advice to edit my flower choices and make some amendments colour wise since I have limited space.
I’m only planning on sowing half/a third of these seeds but so far I have:
Red: - 4 deep red peonies (potted) - scarlet zinnias - burgundy amaranth
Pink: - 13 pinkish lilies (potted) - mix of light pink zinnias - sweet peas - cosmos
Purple: - Dark purple lobelias (not for cutting) - light purple asters
Light blue: - asters
White: - Flowering tobacco - Nigella seeds
Grey: - Dusty miller to plant among dark leaf red begonias (begonias will be purchased later) in a rectangular pot.
Orange: - 3 canna lilies (potted) - Venidium - Gaillarda
I’d love to add some sunflowers (my mom loves them!). Also some clarkia, larkspur and alstroemerias as well but I wonder if it’s too much? I already have so much variants of pink.
I feel like I’m being a little too ambitious/greedy for a first time indoor sowing so any feedback would be appreciated!
Also, none of the photos are mine!

Hello! I have awesome Dahlias every year and struggle to keep the bulbs over the winter. Last year about 25% seemed to plantable come spring. I am in Minnesota.
My problem this year is that my cold storage is too cold I am afraid (-6 here today) and even though my storage is not outside, it is not heated so I think it’s too cold to store bulbs in. I placed them in a large plastic tray this year with medium and stored in my laundry room.(not very cold) No dahlia bulbs have sprouted yet in storage (elephant ears and cannas have) but noticed minimal mold on some of the dahlia bulbs. I tried spraying these with a mixture of neem oil and water and that seemed to clear the mold growth….. and I am hoping that I didn’t damage the bulbs after reading other posts in this group. Fingers crossed…
My real question is will my bulbs be damaged if they weren’t stored in “cold” over the winter season? They were dug up after the first freeze. Any thoughts against the idea of completing covering them in potting soil and bringing them to light to start the indoor growing process now to transplant them in a few months? I did this last year and it seemed to work okay.
Thanks for any suggestions or advice!!! Here are some of my favorite picts from last years blooms… some of my Dahlia’s grow taller than the roof and really hoping to replant so that I quit dropping a fortune on replacing bulbs on a yearly basis!
