A voluntary canna hybrid

A couple of years ago I discovered a canna seedling growing in my yard. I have several canna cultivars in my collection and unfortunately, I do not know which of them were the parents.

The plant bloomed first time in summer 2008, and then again in 2009 (see http://photos.gardenweb.com/garden/galleries/2010/03/a_voluntary_canna_hybrid.html?cat=name_that_plant).

The flowers are very strange and do not resemble any of the potential parent cultivars. Petals are cascading, overlapping from top to bottom, with the last one formed into a pipe. The flower is reddish-pink, about 6 inch (15 cm) long. The plant is dwarf, about 2 ft (60 cm) tall, with green leaves.

Does anybody know if there is an existing canna cultivar with a similar flower shape?
