Name this canna please

15 years ago

Wanted to throw this out there to the GW experts. This row of cannas I bought on ebay and were labeled as Omega. Now that they are up and blooming I'm thinking they are not. Anyone have any ideas. They are about 6 feet tall and have bright red flowers.

I also bought the canna planted in the blue pot which is supposed to be musafolia, but I'm starting to wonder about that one too.

It looks like the Argentine species Canna compacta, also known as Canna 'Robert Kemp'.
