Gingers

I also have
Hedychium coronarium
Heydechium "Tai Golden Goddess" and another tall variety I have forgotten the name of, unless I lost one of the 2 when I moved last month. Still waiting for my transplants to bloom to be sure but that will probably be next year as I interrupted them late in the season.

They are easy to grow here in 8b, lovely and fragrant.

Wanna trade something?

thanks Mary, how far are you away from Orlando? (Tiggyann and SouthernCharm are close)
Dean, I am sure I can send some rizome pieces if you are interested...

I have pineapple ginger and a piece from the grocery store. I dont have a green house so I have to let it die back for winter. Obviously I've never gotten any 'pineapples' to form.

Here are a few photos of a couple of mine. Problem is they need some rain and are hidden behind cannas.
