I've got the 'mutt and jeff' of gingers going - my Dr. Moy variegated hedychiums are over 6ft. tall this year. I don't know what came over them.

Then there's the little Peacock Gingers that lay their pretty leaves almost flat to the ground. They have funny little mauve flowers, new ones open each day. It's hard to photograph the color, but the ones out at the edges of the pictures are the most accurate. The flowers have that reflective diamond dusting so even on a cloudy day they reflect too much light for the camera.
