Which 1924 Georgia O'Keeffe painting features a red canna flower?

Georgia O'Keeffe's 1924 painting featuring a red canna flower is titled Red Canna.

Red Canna belongs to O'Keeffe's celebrated series of enlarged flower paintings. Rather than presenting a whole plant in botanical scale, she cropped and magnified the bloom so that its curving petals fill much of the composition. The approach made viewers focus on color, shape, and movement.

O'Keeffe repeatedly rejected the idea that her flowers should be understood only as symbols of sexuality. She explained that enlarging a flower allowed people to notice it, because many viewers hurried past ordinary flowers without really seeing them. Her flower paintings became among the most recognizable works associated with American modernism.

Red Canna is sometimes mixed up with Black Iris, another well-known flower painting from the 1920s, or with Jimson Weed, a later datura image. The titles refer to different flowers and different works.
