Like lotus leaf and rose petal, the canna leaf also has excellent super hydrophobicity.The purpose of this paper is to systematically study the super hydrophilicity of canna leaf. Using SEM to observe the morphology of the canna leaf, and analytical balance to measure the adhensive force between water droplet and the leaf . This paper shows that the first type of the canna leaf which has co-exsitence of the nanocrumb and micro-scale convex cells has the high contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis similar to lotus leaf. The another type on the leaf has high contact angle but high adhesion in a certain extent like the rose petal effect, whose microstructure unitarily simple has the micro convex cells, do not distributed anything of nanoscale.

This investigation of morphology-wetting links was performed using a biomimetic approach. Three natural leaves’ surfaces were studied: two bamboo varieties and Ginkgo Biloba. Multiscale surface topographies were analyzed by SEM observations, FFT, and Gaussian filtering. A PDMS replicating protocol of natural surfaces was proposed in order to study the purely morphological contribution to wetting. High static contact angles, close to 135∘, were measured on PDMS replicated surfaces. Compared to flat PDMS, the increase in static contact angle due to purely morphological contribution was around 20∘. Such an increase in contact angle was obtained despite loss of the nanometric scale during the replication process. Moreover, a significant decrease of the hysteresis contact angle was measured on PDMS replicas. The value of the contact angle hysteresis moved from 40∘ for flat PDMS to less than 10∘ for textured replicated surfaces. The wetting behavior of multiscale textured surfaces was then studied in the frame of the Wenzel and Cassie–Baxter models. Whereas the classical laws made it possible to describe the wetting behavior of the ginkgo biloba replications, a hierarchical model was developed to depict the wetting behavior of both bamboo species.
