THANKS

A friend sent me a d-mail with ginger links last night and I just saw it at 4 this morning. I started to answer her but got so side tracked looking at all the other plants from where the links were from.

Then I went out to take a picture to post of this plant when I saw the picture in the link above to see if anyone knew if they were the same plant. And then saw a incredible shot for a garden vignette pic in the front yard and have been trying to get the perfect shot of that since. My battery went dead so I am back inside. My poor friend got an abbreviated d-mail back but it is her fault for getting me going so early in the morning. I woke up at 4 AM with every intention of going back to sleep after a quite check of my emails. But there were ginger plums dancing in my head. LOL. Now it is way too late. It is so hard being me.
